Austin Gleeson Appreciation thread

Question at the table quiz tonight.
Who won hurler of the year 2016.

The lad asking the questions said he’d accept Sheamus callinan as an answer if anyone wanted to be honest about things.
It got a fair oid giggle around the pub in fairness.

More glory for the Monastery Men today @Fagan_ODowd. As well as the current hurler of the year, a Mount Sion clubman is now the Eire Ambassador to the US. Austin on the guest list for the White House on St Patrick’s Day?

I used to hurl with his brother.

I wonder if he’ll get the same abuse as Rory Mcellroy

Obviously , hate to see you after 3 lines .

What an ambassador for the game. :clap:

Sacred Heart is out John’s Park Kilcohan direction and they are the juvenile club for Erin’s Own based in Poleberry - Erin’s Own were once the top dogs in Waterford hurling way back when, 13 senior cships last won in the early 60s, ply their trade in intermediate with a long while now

1962 Erins Own last County Championship win. Mentioned it before that my late father-in-law was on that team.

Now that I’ve seen Austin Gleeson standing in a field by a horse, I feel strangely compelled to go to Tramore race course.

That Azzurri gear is utter gash.

We love it so we do.

Was his goal today the greatest ever seen on a hurling field? I’m struggling to think of a better one.

John Fenton ground shot still marginally ahead of it tbf.

Fuck, no.
