The GAA in Tyrone - Raising the Red Hand

The GAA in Tyrone  Raising the Red Hand  IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY  

The first decades of the twenty-first century have seen Tyrone emerge as a consistent  force to be reckoned with at the very highest levels of Gaelic football. This volume,  The GAA in Tyrone: Raising the Red Hand, recounts the remarkable successes of Tyrone  teams during this period, in particular the winning of the Sam Maguire Cup in 2003,  2005, 2008 and 2021. It records the story of the amazing and sustained transformation  of the Association in Tyrone, including the raising of the quality of the infrastructure  of the GAA at club and county level and the increasing role of the Association in  the social life of communities throughout the county. In addition, it includes colour  photographs of Tyrone's winning teams at provincial and national level over the past  twenty years and detailed statistical appendices covering Tyrone teams and club and  county competitions since the establishment of the Association in the county in 1904.
