With every poetic turn of phrase Hanley encapsulates the intense action and breathtaking atmosphere of Peil Ghaelach. Shining the spotlight on every county and club in turn, he focuses his attention on the high and lows of the participating teams backed up by a meticulous analysis of facts and figures and the characters he's met.
