G.A.A. 1916 commemoration event: Laochra
Attracting a bigger crowd than any other 1916 commemoration held yesterday, the GAA's post-match spectacular 'Laochra' enraptured fans of all counties and colours.

The stunning pageant recalled heroes old and new, nodding to both the association's roots in Celtic culture as well as its community clubs.
