@StephenGleeson_ @churchdrombane Thanks Stephen! Pakie was a great man!

[John Harrington @JHarrington79]

Really enjoyed chatting to two generations of Ryan men about the legendary Pakie.

[The GAA @officialgaa]

Ahead of @churchdrombane's AIB All-Ireland Intermediate hurling semi-final against @DanesfortCLG of @KilkennyCLG on Sunday, we remember the late, great Pakie Ryan who was such an inspirational figure for the @TipperaryGAA club. #GAABelong #TheToughest https://t.co/t8Vq2TEQvW

FEATURE: After 44 years as a full-time employee of the GAA, Pat Daly is finally hanging up his hurley. Through 16 GAA presidencies his work at the coalface of Coaching and Games Development has been utterly transformative for the Association. #GAABelong

[The GAA @officialgaa]

You'll struggle to find a more passionate hurling man than @downgaa manager, Ronan Sheehan, who believes we can grow the game in a meaningful way nationwide if we ringfence one week of every month for hurling only. #GAABelong https://t.co/vDCxFu9r33

Almost half of the population of the island lives in a relatively thin sliver down the east coast of Ireland and yet just 19% of GAA clubs exist in the same place. Urgent action is needed if the #GAA is to continue to thrive in the face of demographic change. #GAABelong

There was great skill and emotion on show in Croke Park this week as 20 school teams battled for silverware in the 2024 Allianz @cnambnaisiunta Cumann na mBunscol @DubGAAOfficial football finals. #GAABelong

[The GAA @officialgaa]

Growing up as a Protestant in Bangor in the 1960s, Gary Thomas felt like he could only admire Gaelic games from a distance. Later in life he's made up for lost time by becoming a hugely enthusiastic social hurler with the @socialslashers in @officialdowngaa. #GAABelong

[The GAA @officialgaa]

WATCH: @Carlow_GAA's Inclusive Kellogg's Cúl Camp is a great expression of the GAA's manifesto, 'Where We All Belong'. #GAABelong

[John Harrington @JHarrington79]

@fotoole13 @Gill_Books Fair play, Fintan. Best of luck with it!

[John Harrington @JHarrington79]

@LiamLsheedy @waynegoldcoach Thanks, Liam!

[John Harrington @JHarrington79]

Really enjoyed this chat with @waynegoldcoach. Great common-sense advice for GAA parents, coaches, and clubs.

[The GAA @officialgaa]

How can parents, coaches and clubs make Gaelic games more enjoyable for young players and help them fulfil their sporting potential along the way? World-renowned coaching professional, Wayne Goldsmith, has some ideas that provide a lot of food for thought. #GAABelong

[The GAA @officialgaa]

The fascinating story of how @MayoGAA SFC champions @NaStiofanaigh got back on top after many years in the doldrums by revitalising their underage structures and strengthening their community ethos should give many other clubs food for thought. #GAABelong

[Peter Ryan @Petersvision01]

Really enjoyed this conversation with @JHarrington79 about the Malin to Mizen Ultra-Endurance run. Sport and the GAA have always been a big part of my life and I appreciate the ongoing support @officialgaa

Thanks to both @ronanosnodaigh and @diarmuidlyng for their time with this piece. Two enjoyable chats.

FEATURE: Rónán Ó Snodaigh, lead singer of Irish band Kila, has developed hurling 'katas' - hurling as a martial art - and collaborated with Myles O’Reilly and Diarmuid Lyng to bring them to the wider public through the video for his song ‘Calling All Angels’. #GAABelong

[The GAA @officialgaa]

Emotion alert! Our fly on the wall view of the 2023 All-Ireland SFC Final between @DubGAAOfficial and @Kerry_Official will give you chills up your spine! #GAABelong

[The GAA @officialgaa]

Our fly on the wall view of the 2023 All-Ireland SHC Final between @LimerickCLG and @KilkennyCLG gives a unique perspective on the biggest day in the year in the hurling calendar. #GAABelong

[John Harrington @JHarrington79]

@byBrendanOBrien @RCDeportivo Lovely, heartfelt piece, Brendan. Very sorry for your loss.

[The GAA @officialgaa]

The @GaaClare Academy have gotten very positive results from bio-banding - grouping players based off physical maturation as opposed to chronological age. Early research suggests it could help with skill-development, injury mitigation, talent ID, and player retention. #GAABelong

[GWA @Gaelic_Writers]
