Production notes

Ballybraddan is an exciting hurling animation series which follows the lives of the fifth class children of Ballybraddan Primary School. With each child facing the personal growing pains of youth, they find solace and refuge on the hurling pitch.

This is where the children of Ballybraddan make their own legends. Fast action that requires great skill and teamwork. Just one strike can make an impact.

Ballybraddan follows the lives of these children and the adults that support them as they grow, mature, play, compete and find out who they really are. On and off the pitch, everyone needs to find their own place.
