Bord Gáis Energy, Ireland’s leading home energy management and services provider, and the GAA Museum have announced the return of the popular GAA Legends Tours featuring a stellar line-up of Gaelic Games icons. The series was launched today at Croke Park by Mayo’s Lee Keegan and Tipperary’s Pádraic Maher.

Attendees will also learn about player’s individual pre-match routine and superstitions and get the inside scoop on some of the biggest moments from each player’s career. All tours include a trip to the GAA Museum, which vividly illustrates the story of Gaelic Games from ancient times to the present day. 

This year’s tours start on 10 May and GAA Legends that will lead a tour during this series include Paddy Andrews (Dublin), Rena Buckley (Cork), John Troy (Offaly), Michael Murphy (Donegal), Cora Staunton (Mayo), Paul Murphy (Kilkenny) and Denis ‘Ogie’ Moran (Kerry).  For a full schedule of the Bord Gáis Energy GAA Legends Tours and details of how to book a place on a tour, visit crokepark.ie/legends Booking is essential as the tours sell out quickly.
