Publisher Description

Ireland's love affair with Gaelic Games in general, and Hurling in particular, has never dimmed. Through the lean days of hunger and emigration, through the champagne-mojito-flavoured years of the Celtic Tiger and on after it slunk away with its tail between its legs, Ireland's love for our games has endured. Fact-packed but light-hearted in style, this reliable reference book and a quirky guide reveals little-known facts, classic matches and amusing anecdotes, alongside a general history of the game. This is a book that can be dipped into time and time again to reveal something new about our ancient game. AUTHOR: Seamus J. King has been a sports writer for the last thirty years and to date he has thirteen books to his name, along with five others jointly written. He is a regular presenter on Tipperary Mid-West Radio and has been the editor of the Tipperary GAA Yearbook since 1994.
