Episode 1474: The Tragedy Of Two Football Teams On One Island, The Essential Corkness Of The Munster Hurling Championship, Ken’s GAA Predictions
Ireland has had two football teams, and two football associations, since the 1920s. On an island where hockey, rugby, athletics, boxing, and many other sports are cross-border ventures, the biggest sport in the world has for almost a century been a potent symbol of the Border.
A new documentary “Division: The North/South Split”, airing at 9.35pm on RTE1 tonight, asks the questions – why did the game develop as it did in Ireland, and is there ever a chance of a unified All-Ireland team? We speak to the show’s producer Jennifer Healy.
