A highly promising 12 year old. What made him stand out. I’d imagine he was a bag of bones with a size 35 Hurley up to his shoulder.
The date of the 1916 rising was largely based off astrology readings relating to Aaron’s birth --of course the Dubs made a bollox of it and that caused the civil war.

Willie o meara. Stephen Cahill to a lesser extent.
Most lads that are very good at hurling would have thebasic skills mastered by under 10. Youd rarely see a lad picking up hurling at 13 or 14 and being very good.
After that match in Bruff Aaron went down to Lough Gur to relax for a half an hour. He walked across the surface of the lake. I knew then he was special.
Did anything become of the 12 lads who used to follow him around?

They had middling careers.
Eleven of them were sound ould skins who liked a bit of fishing. There was was one evil cunt though… he was from Tipp
I remember the Well boys came in one evening and sat into the seats where the regular Mungret lads would sit. There was a silent stand off…hilarious.
That’s for roasters!
Sure you’ll be roasting over there.
True, but I don’t think a 42 year old male should be wearing one of those vests
Tbh I just don’t think Gillane was that good when he was 16/17. Decent but there were better players his age.
His father is a sound skin, good coach, good hurling brain. Think he’s coaching the Limerick 14s this year.

How so?
He’s an excellent coach.
Whats his name?
