Foley is a good writer. Kings of September and The Bloodied Field are two of the best Irish sports books of the last 10 years. I’m amazed he doesn’t have the status of some more “high profile” journalists.

Cheers. That was a great read.
Ewan shines a spotlight. Also mentions asterisk and uses some other vaguely recognisable content.
'Hurling is mentioned and why if money makes a difference aren’t Dublin All Ireland hurling champions. Yet their improvement from a way lower base in that small-ball sphere has been arguably greater. Indeed since funding they won a first Leinster senior since 1961; won four of their six ever Leinster under-20/21 titles while going to two All Irelands; won six Leinster minor hurling titles including a first since the early 1980s and went to two finals; won their only post-war national senior hurling title in the league; and had a Dalkey club go back-to-back nationally.
This actually is further proof of the financial doping although this will lead to escapism via the blame game.’
He wrote that last week too. And the week before. And the week before.
