'Marooned' - the fly-on-wall documentary which told the story of Páidí Ó Sé's first year as Westmeath football manager - is to screened on RTE One tonight (Tuesday, January 15), at 10.15pm. The documentary chronicles Páidí guiding Westmeath to a historic Leinster title success in 2004. The Kerry legend's sudden death in December caused deep sadness within the Westmeath GAA community - but it also triggered many happy memories of that 2004 breakthrough. Páidí took over as Westmeath manager within weeks of his reign as Kerry manager ending. This remarkable behind-the-scenes documentary tells the story of the amazing year that followed. There are many colourful and entertaining moments in the documentary and now Westmeath fans will have the chance to enjoy them once again. The hour-long film was also shown on Setanta Ireland over the Christmas period.
