Celebrity Bainisteoir

This September will see RTÉ's Celebrity Bainisteoir returning to RTÉ One on Sunday nights for its fourth series. The hugely-popular GAA-based reality series has become a real favourite with viewers and this year it has once again attracted a wide mix of celebrities to take the reigns of eight established intermediate GAA club teams, all of whom are determined to win the title and bring home the Celebrity Bainisteoir Cup to their club and county.

The first programme of eight sees this years eight hopefuls gathered together in Croke Park where they'll find out who'll they'll be playing against in the first round of quarter finals, as GAA President Christy Cooney officiates at the draw of this official GAA tournament. We'll also be taking a look back at the techniques used by previous Bainisteoiri as the likes of Glenda Gilson, Derek from Crystal Swing, Gavin Duffy, Gerald Kean, Emma O'Driscoll, Derek Davis and Breffny Morgan all revisit their clubs and recount the highs and lows of their days in charge.
