BACKSTAGE AT THE ALL IRELAND FINAL
AS seen on TV

----------------------------------------

On the pitch a ferocious battle for Sam Maguire.

In the stands 82,000 spectators cheer and weep.

Behind the scenes 2,000 people make the epic event happen.
They cook, steward, serve and police, pump up the balls and prepare for the pitch invasion. They race around, stay cool in the face of emergency and occasionaly lose the rag. And they tend the field of play as if it was the most precious surface in the world.

This exclusive view of Croke Park, Ireland's premier sports stadium, takes us into a hidden world never seen before.
