Réalta peile agus iomána aitheanta sa séasúr nua Laochra Gael


Filleann an tsraith shuntasach CLG seo ar TG4 san Earrach le leagan amach nua uair a’ chloig. Beidh cúigear pearsa CLG faoi chaibidil, daoine go mbeadh clár uaire de dhíth chun cothrom na féinne a thabhairt dá scéalta pearsanta, lán d’eachtraí corraitheacha. Is fíor-laochra iad uilig agus a gcáil imithe rompu. Sa tsraith seo, áfach, gheobhfar léargas iomlán agus pearsanta orthu agus faoina ngaol lena spórt agus leis an saol mórthimpeall orthu. Insíonn an scéal spóirt na bun fíricí a bhí riamh i gceist i gcláracha Laochra Gael síos tríd na blianta, ach téann an tsraith nua seo píosa maith thar na línte bána. Meallfaidh na scéalta pearsanta an lucht féachana ar thuras nua agus ar chlúdach nua teilifíse CLG.

The definitive GAA sports series returns to TG4 in the spring with a new hour long format. Featuring five GAA personalities whose dramatic, event packed stories demand the longer programme duration to do them justice. These Laochra radiate genuine star quality and are already celebrated as sporting legends. But the series reveals deeper, fresh and sometimes unexpected insights into the lives of these icons, their relationship to their sport and the world around them. While their sporting careers continue to provide the core narratives that have been essential to Laochra Gael’s popularity down the years, this new series edges the envelope well beyond the four white lines. It’s gripping personal storylines compel its viewers to travel with it towards territory unique to the GAA television landscape.

The new Laochra Gael season will air on TG4 at 9:30pm on Wednesday evenings starting February 28th.
