Olympic fever has gripped the country but Ireland is still in search of that elusive medal.

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.

All of this and so much more are recalled in The Setanta Sports Yearbook 2008–2009.
