Fans of Gaelic football and hurling can look forward to a real treat this championship season with the announcement that the Racing Post are to publish a special Gaelic games supplement with the paper each Saturday. Legends of the games Colm O'Rourke and Nicky English will be among the expert contributors to GOALPOST, which launches on Saturday next, May 10th, and promises an exciting summer of unique GAA coverage. The 16-page supplement will take a punter's eye view of all the big hurling and football matches throughout this summer, and analyse form with a thoroughness never before seen in the GAA. GOALPOST will be edited by award-winning Gaelic Games Journalist and Broadcaster Liam Horan - previously Gaelic Games Correspondent of the Irish Independent - and will be distributed free with the Racing Post every Saturday of the championship season. "GOALPOST is being launched because of the huge interest in the Championship and more and more money is being bet on Gaelic football and hurling matches every year. It is a growing market and we believe fans are entitled to the kind of expert information they can't get elsewhere," said Liam Horan, editor of the supplement. "Our approach will be similar to how the Racing Post analyse other sports - we will look at real form, not just perceptions, and we will bring a factual element to what we do. We aim to make it essential reading for anyone who is having a flutter on Gaelic games this summer. "We have lined up top-class writers who take Gaelic games seriously. They will offer a new perspective on the games. This is the first time followers of Gaelic games have been provided with an array of expert writers providing tips and insights of this nature." Tweet
