TG4’s Underdogs series has thrown up a ‘scéal inspioráideach’ or two over the years, and the opening episode of the new season didn’t disappoint on that front, with Kilmore Ladies player Gráinne Power opening up on how Gaelic football ‘saved her’.

As usual, the show takes a group of footballing underachievers who have never played county and gives a team of top coaches six months to get them ready to take on an inter-county side.
