A Place to Play takes readers on a spellbinding tour of 101 GAA county grounds – across the four provinces, the thirty-two counties and further afield to London and New York – outlining when and how the grounds began and the many challenges overcome by the people who founded them. Packed with fascinating information and biographies, significant milestones and extraordinary anecdotes, this meticulously researched and lavishly illustrated compendium pays homage to the playing fields at the heart of the GAA, and to the communities, clubs and custodians who continue to care for them.
