This year’s GAA Hurling final programme in particular proved popular with supporters, not least in the competing counties.
GAA Director of Communication Alan Milton said: “Acquiring an official match programme has been a long-standing practice for many of our members and supporters and the challenges around the staging of this year’s championships meant we have to look at things differently.
“We have worked with our partners in DBA to ensure our match programmes have been available both in soft and hard copy format and just like last weekend for the hurling final, they will be on sale on the evening before the game in competing counties.
“We hope manyavail of the opportunity and keep up a long standing tradition despite the very different year that has 2020 has been.”
This year’s programme features exclusive interviews with Conor Loftus and Philly McMahon.
There are stories from acclaimed writers such as Seán Moran, Michael Verney, David Coughlan, Brian Murphy, Fintan O’Toole and Christy O’Connor on subjects ranging from how COVID-19 has affected the GAA season to a comparison between Ciarán Kilkenny and Cillian O’Connor.
There is also a wide range of statistical pieces on both counties as well as a focus on the U20 teams from Galway and Dublin who contest the opening match of the day in the EirGrid U20 final at Croke Park at 2.15pm
