Laochra Gael Nominated at the Celtic Media Festival

Tá scéal pheileadóra Chiarraí, Kieran Donaghy ainmnithe i gcomhair Gradam ag an bhFéile na Méan Ceilteach i mbliana sa chatagóir ‘Sports Documentary’. Bhí an clár seo ar TG4 i mí Márta 2020, agus bhí sé mar chéad eipeasóid san ochtú sraith déag de Laochra Gael, sraith atá déanta anseo i NemetonTV. Bhuaigh Kieran 4 bhonn uile Éireann, 3 ghradam All Star agus Peileadóir na Bliana le linn a shaothair. Agus is scéal faoi leith é an scéal faoin bhfear darb ainm Star: ag briseadh tríd leis na Underdogs, an triail ina rinneadh lán tosaithe dó, lámha na cispheile, an laghdú agus an athbheochan, agus ar ndóigh, Joe Brolly. Agus sa chúlra, bhí caidreamh casta agus crua idir é féin agus a athair a bhí ceangail aige le gach rud a rinne sé ar an bpáirc.

Tá sceitimíní orainn go bhfuil an ainmniúchán againn agus go n-éirí an t-ádh leanár bhfoireann Laochra Gael ar fad.

The story of Kerry footballer, Kieran Donaghy has been nominated for an Award in this year’s Celtic Media Festival in the ‘Sports Documentary’ category. This episode aired on TG4 in March 2020 as the first instalment of the 18th series of Laochra Gael, produced here at NemetonTV. In his career, Kieran won 4 All Ireland medals, 3 All Stars and Footballer of the Year. The man called Star has an extraordinary story: breaking through with the Underdogs, the experiment that made a full forward out of him, the basketball hands, the decline and the revival, and of course, Joe Brolly. And in the background, the complex and difficult relationship with his father that was tied up in everything he did on the field of play.

We’re so excited to be nominated and wish all the Laochra Gael team the best of luck.
