2010, 52 Mins

The All-Ireland Football Finals, September 2009. On the pitch, a ferocious battle for the Sam Maguire Cup. In the stands, 82,000 spectators cheer and weep. And behind the scenes, Peter, Pat, Robert, Shakila, Lenny, Pauline, Frank, Séamus, Amy and their two thousand colleagues make it happen.

They cook, they steward, serve and police, pump up the balls and prepare for the pitch invasion. They race around, wait patiently, stay cool in the face of medical emergency, watch security monitors like hawks and occasionally lose the rag. And they tend the field of play as if it was the most precious surface in the world.
