This is a powerful story of Dublin’s only rural hurling and camogie club — a gritty, heartfelt journey through community, identity, and the quiet beauty of the game. Amateur sport is populated by everyday heroes, who give up their free time in the service of community. A raw, uplifting celebration of friendship, this book captures the heart of the GAA and the magic that happens when dreams take root in unlikely places.
Oldtown GAA - The Wild Geese.
“Aidan Lenehan reintroduced himself to hurling after a lapse of some years, a decision which, clearly, he does not regret. Setting up a hurling club in an area where the game has no past brings inevitable obstacles and frustrations. There are regrets too – over lost matches and friends and players who took off to bigger clubs. But never the regret that he made the decision in the first place. This follows his first effort, There Is an F in Hurling, which demands to be read for the title alone. The sequel is an account of how the patient is doing, now up and running. The pages tell us that he is alive and well and looking to the future. Hope, joy and despair are familiar and universal themes, and the unending fascination with a game that never seems to make our curiosity and interest tire. Hurling is a wonderful game, and it is the love of hurling that is at the heart of this engaging and enjoyable book. Fly on Wild Geese.”
