This September will see RTÉ's Celebrity Bainisteoir returning to RTÉ One on Sunday nights for its fourth series. The hugely-popular GAA-based reality series has become a real favourite with viewers and this year it has once again attracted a wide mix of celebrities to take the reigns of eight established intermediate GAA club teams, all of whom are determined to win the title and bring home the Celebrity Bainisteoir Cup to their club and county.

This year sees Celebrity Bainisteoirs manage the following clubs:

Gillian Quinn Ballyporeen GAA Club, Tipperary
PJ Gallagher St Patrick's GAA Club Donabate, Dublin
Amanda Brunker Aughrim GAA Club, Wicklow
Tony Cascarino Killeshin GAA Club, Laois
Brenda O'Donoghue Kilcullen GAA Club, Kildare
Dana St Michael's GAC Lissan, Derry
Tommy Flemming St Patrick's GAA Club Dromard, Sligo
Paul Gogarty Oughterard's Seamus Ó Máille GAA Club, Galway

An official GAA tournament, the draw for the matches took place in Croke Park recently when GAA President Christy Cooney announced which teams and bainisteoiri would be playing against each other in the opening quarter final round.

Over the coming weeks, the bainisteori will begin training their respective teams and, early on in the process, the clubs that are meeting each other in the opening round will compete in a physical challenge which will see the victorious club claim home advantage.

Celebrity Bainisteoir is co-produced by Animo TV & Kite Entertainment for RTÉ.
