Latest Laois Sport: TG4’s UNDERDOGS WANT HURLERS FROM LAOIS!
Call for Hurlers from Laois goes out!
TG4’s UNDERDOGS WANT HURLERS!
TG4’s legendary GAA series ‘Underdogs’ is back and this year it’s all about the clash of the ash. The search is on to find a squad of ambitious men with enough drive, skill and passion to take on one of the greatest teams in the fastest field game in the world.
Players will be chosen by a panel of expert selectors who make up the management team.
This is a chance to be trained and managed by legends of the game. A chance for unknown players to go up against some of the country’s greatest hurlers.
The President of the GAA Larry McCarthy has said:
“Since its foundation, TG4 has been synonymous with excellence in Gaelic games coverage and the Underdogs series has been a popular part of this work. It is a show that takes people behind the scenes in preparing a team and is fuelled by the attraction of seeing the underdog get a shot at the big time. In 2004 Kieran Donaghy featured as an unknown Underdog, but two years later was an All-Ireland winning Kerry footballer and a household name. I look forward to seeing the hurling hopefuls of 2020 being put through their paces, and potentially the emergence of another well-known star.”
Who can apply?
– Male players who have never played with an intercounty team in the Liam McCarthy Cup
– All applicants must be 18 years of age on/by the 18th April 2022 to be eligible. – Players must currently be registered with a GAA club.
TG4 and Adare Productions are now inviting applications for the new series of Underdogs. Players can apply online at www.tg4.ie/underdogs and nationwide trials will take place in April.

TÁ ‘UNDERDOGS’ TG4 AG LORG IOMÁNAITHE!
Tá Underdogs, sraith chlúiteach CLG TG4, ar ais do 2022 agus i mbliana táimid ag díriú ar an iomáint. Táimid ag iarraidh teacht ar ghrúpa fear atá cumasach, díocasach agus uaillmhianach go leor le haghaidh a thabhairt ar cheann de na foirne iománaíochta is fearr sa tír. Beidh grúpa nua roghnóirí mór le rá ar an taobhlíne i mbliana.
Seo do sheans dul i mbun traenála in éineacht le laochra móra an chluiche agus a bheith faoina stiúir. Is deis í d’imreoirí nach bhfuil eolas ar bith ag an bpobal orthu aghaidh a thabhairt ar roinnt de na hiománaithe is fearr sa tír.
Deir Larry McCarthy, Uachtarán an C.L.G:
“Ó bunaíodh TG4, samhlaítear é agus scoth na craoltóireachta ar na cluichí Gaelacha le chéile i gcónaí agus tá an tsraith ‘Underdogs’ mar chuid den obair sin agus éileamh mór air. Clár atá ann a thugann léargas don lucht féachana ar an gcaoi a réitítear foirne. Tá siad meallta ag foirne nach dtugtar mórán seans dóibh agus iad ag iarraidh an ceann is fearr a fháil ar na foirne is fearr a bhfuil ann. Sa bhliain 2004 chuir an lucht féachana aithne ar Kieran Donghay don chéad uair mar ‘underdog’. Dhá bhliain ina dhiaidh sin bhuaigh sé Craobh na hÉireann le Ciarraí agus bhí aithne ag an saol is a mháthair air. Tá mé ag súil go mór le hiománaithe óga 2022, a bhfuil gealladh fúthu, a fheiceáil agus iad á ndiantástáil. Cá bhfios ach go bhfeicfidh muid an chéad mhór-réalta eile ann.”
