GAA fans starved of action have been consoling themselves with watching classic matches and the return of TG4's popular series Laochra Gael.
And this Thursday's (April 6th) season finale promises to be fascinating as it profiles Monaghan football legend Brenda McAnespie with the programme starting at 9.30pm.
Among other tales, McAnespie talks in the documentary about discovering en route to the 1997 All-Ireland final that she was pregnant with her daughter Eimear.
She said: "Everything was going [well], and all of a sudden I find myself in the situation again that I was pregnant.
"I went to the doctor and asked her opinion and they said sometimes when you're pregnant you're encouraged to keep doing what you're doing.
"If you're taking on something new, well that's a completely different story. I had been that used to playing football that it wasn't going to be a hindrance or a danger to me.
"I spoke about it with Vincie (her husband) and we said we'd just take it a week at a time."
The footballer then had to break the news to her manager Mickey Morgan as the county faced into a final against their big rivals Waterford.
Morgan said of his reaction: "It was just like that: silence and shock.
"Football was my first thought. 'Brenda, you're pregnant, you're going to miss the game. It's an All-Ireland final, it's Waterford and you're our centre-forward, our driving force'.
"[She said], 'Mickey, I'm playing, I'm telling you I'm playing'. I couldn't sleep. Brenda was the only thing I was thinking about."
McAnespie was true to her word and starred for Monaghan in a dramatic victory that sealed their second All-Ireland title on the spin - and the last time they have won the crown - all while being 14 weeks pregnant.
The documentary will also reflect on Brenda's brother-in-law Aidan McAnespie who was shot on the Tyrone/Monaghan border by the British Army in February 1988 while on his way to play football for his local club Aghaloo.
It was a tragic shooting that made headlines around the world during the Troubles and will form part of what looks set to be a fascinating watch.
