The GAA in Tyrone  The Long Road to Glory  Second Edition - Revised and fully updated

 
2003 will forever be remembered as the year of glory in the annals of the GAA in  Tyrone. On 28 September of that year, the dreams of generations of Tyrone Gaels  were at last realised, when Peter Canavan raised the Sam Maguire Cup in triumph.  

This book tells the story of the first one hundred years of Gaelic games in Tyrone  years of dogged determination, of sometimes bitter disappointment and ultimately  of glorious success. Now revised and fully updated to include the two decades since  it was first published in 1984, it is widely acclaimed as the most comprehensive and  accessible account of the GAA in Tyrone.

(Peter Canavan)
