Tipperary's Liam Sheedy will be featured on TG4 series Laochra Gael
Portroe man led county to All-Ireland senior success in 2010 and 2019
The acclaimed Laochra Gael, which has returned for a 21st series on TG4, will feature former Tipperary hurler and manager Liam Sheedy at 9.30pm next Thursday night, March 2.
After the death of his father when he was two-years-old, Liam sought refuge on the hurling field, playing for his county at all levels.
However, he was little known when he became county manager. The team was in the doldrums, and nobody expected that Sheedy would win the All-Ireland championship and put an end to Kilkenny’s reign.
The hurling world was shocked when he stepped down after the historic win, and again when he returned ten years later, winning another All-Ireland championship in 2019, again against Kilkenny.
The programme director is Ronan O’Donoghue.
The participants include Liam Sheedy; John Sheedy; Mike Sheedy; Eoin Kelly; Noel McGrath; Eamon O’Shea; Darren Gleeson; John McIntyre; Michael Rice; Dónal O’Grady; Margaret Sheedy; Aisling Sheedy and Gemma Sheedy.
