IT’S ON THE go now for over two decades and ‘A Season Of Sundays’ remains a brilliant production for anyone looking to reflect on the GAA year.
The team of photographers at Sportsfile have again released their collection of images chronicling the highs and low, joy and heartbreak of the 2017 GAA season.
From Colm Cooper’s joy at finally making an All-Ireland club breakthrough to the Waterford despair at missing out on Liam MacCarthy Cup, there are also appearances from Davy Fitzgerald, Rena Buckley and Andy Moran.
Here’s a preview of some of the images in this year’s book and you can get information here on how to get your hands on a copy.
