Everything he knows?

Tessio marked him out of it in the minor final. Hope he wasn’t his hurling coach !

Halcyon days. You’d have lads here ready to flay RTÉ for not still showing those games

He scored a point that day all the same that was one of the best I’ve ever seen in Croke Park. Doubled on a ball overhead from 30/40 yards.

My initial thought but I factored in tricks of the memory.

Somewhere between the two I’d say

That’s some score.

That’s what made hurling great. The clash of the ash, the instinctiveness, the freedom. Destroyed by systems and an obsession with possession. A totally different sport.

He was playing centre forward I think?

Agreed. There’s no room for that sort of street hurling anymore.

If he did that now he’d be taken off.

Are Quinn and Shane long the only two senior soccer internationals to be county underage hurlers?
