To mark 125 years of the GAA, Tom Humphries of the Irish Times has wrote a piece to celebrate 125 reasons to love the GAA, see this feature by Tom Humphries in today’s Irish Times.

Some of my favourites are below:

38. Two strands of braided wool in your county colours is the very definition of minimalist chic.

64. The mini leagues on a Saturday morning. Hundreds of kids in little helmets, clutching sticks and running around like a startled colony of ants.

85. Paddy’s Day has been saved by the club finals.

100. The Ó Sé brothers.

119.Hang sandwiches and tae. Still the staple of royalty.
