We learn all about the links and naming of the club after the great Tyrone legend himself, his memory living on through the club and in the Cormac Trust, rivalries within the NSW teams and the OZ territories, and of course the lads answer the same vital questions as NSW did last week!

G’day! On Slice 10 of GAA Global we head back to our friends in Australia down under and meet the gang at NSW GAA. While NSW GAA takes in a variety of clubs, I chat with Linda from Limerick, Liam from Wexford and Colin from Tyrone, all about the life at NSW GAA.
