Underdogs to carry out trials

Wed, 3rd April 2019

TG4’s popular GAA series ‘Underdogs’ is back. The search is on again to a find a squad of ambitious men with enough drive, skill and passion to take on one of the country’s greatest gaelic football teams.

Like last year, players will be chosen by a panel of expert selectors who make up the management team. This year there will be a few fresh faces will be stepping up to the sideline.

Underdogs helped launched the careers of a number of All-Ireland champions, not least Kerry's Kieran Donaghy and Cork’s Pearse O’Neill. Could you be the next star to follow in their footsteps?

TG4 Head of Sport Rónán Ó Coisdealbha said: “We are looking forward to a new series of the Underdogs which ties in with our extensive year round GAA coverage. This series has always given the opportunity to club players to showcase their talent on a national stage which may result in them becoming future All-Ireland medallists as previous Underdogs have.”

This is a chance to be trained and managed by legends of the game. A chance for unknown players to go up against some of the country’s best gaelic footballers.
