As the decade began there was no sign of the aristocracy being unseated. Then, in five minutes in 1994, the hurlers of Offaly sparked a revolution. Along came a collection of upstarts to destroy the old order, and go down in history as Ireland\u2019s most charismatic, colourful and enduring personalities.<\/p>\n<p>This is their story, their words and their deeds &#8211; in the defining period of modern hurling history. R\u00e9abhl\u00f3id GAA digs deep into an extensive archive of classic GAA shows- from Breaking Ball, Road to Croker, Committee Room, Championship Matters, Thank GAA It\u2019s Friday \u2013 weaving together archive  interviews with unforgettable action from some of the greatest games of all time. Featuring, among others, Davy Fitzgerald, Ger Loughnane, Brian Whelahan, Johnny Dooley, Johnny Pilkington, Liam Griffin, Martin Storey, all in their heyday, these are the winners writing the history as they lived it. <\/p>\n<p><strong>R\u00e9abhl\u00f3id GAA<\/strong> is the latest offering from Loosehorse, the standard-bearers in GAA and sports documentary with an acclaimed track record featuring The Boys in Green, Micko, Giles and many more, and is directed by Ronan O\u2019Donoghue (Sunday Best, Jayo, All Ireland Day). Diarmuid Lyng, for whom the \u201890s provided the inspiration for his own stellar inter-county career with Wexford, is an authentic and affectionate Narrator.   <\/p>\n<p>This is an epic retelling of an extraordinary time, from Offaly\u2019s astonishing comeback, Biddy Early being banished in the Banner, the Boys of Wexford marching across the border, and the outrageous trilogy of 98, all played out in a rapidly evolving social and cultural landscape. <\/p>\n<p><strong>R\u00e9abhl\u00f3id GAA<\/strong> is the story of how, in one decade a sport, and a country, changed forever.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; R\u00e9abhl\u00f3id GAA is a new one-hour documentary that tells the story of how hurling redefined itself as a sport in the 1990s to truly become our national game.
