Ep 256 – St Brendan’s GAA Club 62nd Annual Dinner-Dance, Victory Celebrations and Tribute to Kieran Gleeson RIP

This week…

We’re at St Brendan’s GAA club to join in the celebrations after winning the Lancashire Championship and then being crowned All Britain Champions. At the 62nd annual Dinner-Dance, we also pay tribute to the life of Kieran Gleeson, for many years a larger-than-life character at the club who will be much missed.

With special guest Jarlath Burns and memories from former players, we get an insight into why St Brendan’s is so special and lies at the heart of the local Irish community.

“It’s not just about the games, it’s the memories and friendships that last forever”

St Brendan’s is all about bringing families through, right from Underage players to Seniors, girls and boys. We talk to Aisling Burke Connolly, Mark Connolly and committee members about how they make the club so successful.

Aaron McCusker from “Shameless” and “Bohemian Rhapsody” (The Queen Movie) talks to us about his involvement in sport.

Lots to watch with the usual music mix!
