Fledgling broadcaster Local Streaming has global plans

For eight junior and intermediate clubs it’s a landmark weekend in GAA headquarters. And for two Mayo entrepreneurs.

Fledgling broadcaster Local Streaming will beam the four club finals around the globe. They’ve girded the servers for 40,000 clicks.

Liam Horan, a GAA journalist with the Irish Examiner and RTÉ in a past life, commentates on matches for his club Ballinrobe. Anthony Moran filmed games for his club Aghamore. A mutual friend, former Mayo star and then Aghamore manager Jimmy Lyons, introduced them and Local Streaming was born, along with a plan to widen the audience for club GAA matches via the internet.
