Tallow native, Pat Daly, is set to be honoured at Croke Park on Friday, after 44 years of service to the association as the head of Games Development and Research.
During his time, Pat has overseen some of the most recognised and successful developments within the GAA, including the foundation of Go Games, Cúl Camps and coaching conferences, which by 2020, had become the longest-running and biggest coaching conference in the world.
