Milltown GAA club in County Galway celebrated their historic adult county titles from the 1960s and 1980s, with the 1962 junior final being the first GAA result broadcast on RTÉ. Players like James Saunderson and Father Séamus Flannery shared stories of tough choices, as many top talents left for the priesthood, military, or emigration during the 1950s and 1960s. Today, Mayo faces a similar situation with 17-year-old Kobe McDonald, a star under-twenty player who has signed a contract with Australias St Kilda club, despite pressure to stay and play for Mayo and his club Crossmolina.
