Product Description
Tom Semple, a Tipperary GAA icon, whose name is immortalised at Semple Stadium, is synonymous with the game of hurling, since he led the Thurles Blues to All-Ireland glory in 1906 and 1908.
This 2015 publication details the exploits of these earlier heroes of the camán and of Tom Semple’s training regime and tactics.
The reader can follow ‘The Blues’ on their amazing tour to Brussels and historic Fontenoy in 1910. They can access the fascinating story of the early years of Thurles Sportsfield, renamed Semple Stadium in Tom’s memory, and how it developed into today’s ‘Field of Legends’.
The role Semple and others played in the War of Independence is also detailed in this hardback publication, which contains more than 400 pages. The book is illustrated throughout and offers new insights into the life and times of yesteryear.
Hardcover, as issued without dustjacket, published 2015.
