Book Club

The perfect book for him -The best of the sports year between two covers!

It has been the year of Padraig Harrington, Munster triumphant, three Irish boxing medals in Beijing and Kilkenny and Kerry keeping the Liam McCarthy and Sam Maguire Cups firmly in their grip. It’s also the year when Man United reclaimed the Champions League; Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps created an Olympics to remember; and Tiger Woods broke through the pain barrier to win the US Open. All of this and so much more are recalled in The Setanta Sports Yearbook 2008–2009.

Destined to become an annual event in the sporting calendar, Setanta’s writers give the no-nonsense low-down on events including Beijing, Cheltenham, the All-Irelands, the Premiership, the Setanta Cup, all the major golfing tournaments, etc. The top quality writing is accompanied by a wealth of the year’s best sports photographs, while added bonuses include profiles of Ireland’s sporting heroes and a preview of what 2009 will have to offer.
