This chronicle of a year in the life of St Joseph's Doora-Barefield GAA club in Co.Clare - which won the William Hill Irish Sports Book of the Year award for 2010 - breaks new ground in Irish sportswriting.Christy O'Connor, a national GAA correspondent who has also been the St Joseph's senior team goalkeeper for 20 years, tells this story with unflinching honesty: a fly-on-the-wall tale of the effort, agony and struggles that define the journey undertaken every season by every club side.This is grassroots GAA at its purest and rawest, a great story brilliantly told.
