Clann na nGael players to feature in TG4 programme on famed football competition

Comórtas Peile na Gaeltachta is widely regarded as one of the most important football and social events in the annual Gaeltacht calendar.

The football competition which began in 1969 brings together clubs from across the Gaeltacht and Irish language communities - and in 2025 the famed competition will be held in Rath Chairn.

In 2024, during the June Bank holiday weekend, Cumann peile Chill na Martra in the Muskerry Gaeltacht hosted the the event - and TG4 are to show a documentary based on the adventures of a number of teams including Clann na nGael from Meath. The programme will be televised on Monday 30th December, 8.55pm.

In Ag Triall ar Chill na Martra TG4 follow the players, managers and supporters of various teams as they strive to win the 2024 tournament and have their name inscribed in Gaeltacht folklore.

Featured in the documentary are the mens teams from Cill na Martra and An Rinn from Waterford as well as the LGFA teams of Clann na nGael and Cumann Mícheál Breathnach from Galway.

We also follow the festival organisers as they seek to successfully host this unique football and cultural event they last hosted in 2005. Much has changed since then, the Comórtas has grown from been a small gathering to now been one of the largest GAA club events of the year.
