Strange training technique to have players practicing their golf swing with a hurley bat.
Lols. Sanctimonious Senior lashing out.
'67 final was good manly hurling.
I watched the whole of that 67 final. Jesus christ allmighty 
Ironic. KK beat the filth. And then became the filth.
Awful filth here from Tipperary in the 1967 final.
Who hit Walsh? Was it Mick Roche?
To be fair, our lads were just as bad with the filth. It was downright nasty all round.

Kilkenny invented the handpass. That priest looked a right sinister bastard
Walsh was using a bit of timber himself, pretty sure it was Tony Wall allegedly.
I hope Canice Picklington was interviewed for the final episode.

My grand father always maintained Wall was a supeior centre back to Pat stakelum. He used to tell me great stories about the games in 50s and 60s.
Is Declan Hannon a grandson or maybe its a grand nephew of Pat Stakelum?
A grand nephew.

The supporters of that generation had the life. Cycling to games in port laoise or Dublin or wherever and not getting back for a couple of days with the various pit stops.

Somebody should have a go at writing a hurling equivalent of Jonathan Wilsonâs âInverting The Pyramidâ.
I imagine it would go something like this:
1954: Wexford catch the ball in the air. Nobody can believe what they are seeing.
1986: In a tactic copied from Gaelic football, Galway revolutionise the game by playing a third midfielder. Nobody had ever seen anything like it.
2003: Cork string a few handpasses together. Everything changes, changes utterly.
2015: Waterford play a sweeper. The hurling world is scandalised.
The End.
He was a great bit of stuff.
