Austin Gleeson Appreciation thread

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

The lad asking the questions said heā€™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 Patrickā€™s Day?

I used to hurl with his brother.

I wonder if heā€™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 Johnā€™s Park Kilcohan direction and they are the juvenile club for Erinā€™s Own based in Poleberry - Erinā€™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 Iā€™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? Iā€™m struggling to think of a better one.

John Fenton ground shot still marginally ahead of it tbf.

Fuck, no.
