Following Crossmaglen GAA club's new managers guiding the next generation of players.

Documentary following attempts by Crossmaglen GAA club's new managers, Oisin McConville and John McEntee, to guide the next generation of players to victory.

During the Troubles, Crossmaglen was seen by many as a place apart. At the heart of what became known as 'bandit country', and despite the pressures, a group of children managed to form one of the most formidable football teams in GAA club history. With unique access to the Crossmaglen GAA club over two seasons, this documentary follows new managers Oisin McConville and John McEntee, both former All-Ireland winners with the club, as they attempt to guide the next generation to victory. This is the story of a remarkable group of people at the heart of a remarkable town.
