The GAA is at the heart of Irish culture. No matter who eventually gets to run out onto the green pitch of Croke Park in late September, fans across the whole country take vivid memories from our games.

The association is constantly aware that it’s our people who make the games as colourful, exciting and attractive as they are – the players, fans, mentors and volunteers. So, coming to the end of another vintage year, the GAA tasked us with putting together a video giving thanks to all of these people.

Using some of the more vivid memories from the 2014 season, we sought to showcase exactly what the games mean to us all, and gave thanks to everyone that made it a season never to forget. Because as we all know, nothing beats being there.
