Most enjoyable GAA articles and writing in 2019

    This might be an idea for a thread - a sort of highlights of the best GAA writing. I very rarely read sports but came across today's Darragh Ó Sé article on The Irish Times where it was in the 'Most Read' stories list. I started reading and it was a gorgeous piece of writing with great turn of phrase and humour and lovely deadpan sentences and scenes reimagined (like the Limerick lads listening to a Kerry team talk by Páidí Ó Sé in a Limerick clubhouse). It was good for the soul.

    Darragh Ó Sé: Greg Kennedy's catch is an early contender for laugh of the year

    Somebody in a thread in this Forum posted extracts of Jackie Tyrrell's biography a few years ago and it, too, was a brilliant read for the same reasons as Ó Sé's piece today.

    What writing on hurling/football/camogie/handball/poc fada, etc made you laugh this year?

    Another Kerry-centric article that uses a recent event to talk about, well, Kerry. Decently written, no doubt, but it's a fluff piece, nothing to be learned from it.

    Darragh O'Se is just awful, hackneyed stories about his uncle, propaganda for Kerry and assassination jobs on talented non Kerry players (Michéal Lundy springs to mind), do yourself a favour and don't bother with him!
