Product Description
This is a book that should surely be judged by its cover, which features a blue and gold jerseyed Nick English in full flight, an sliotar ar bhas a chamdin aige, the intensity of his gaze unwavering as he leaves the red shadow of Cork's Jim Cashman in his wake. While the story is sprinkled with names redolent of Tipp hurling — Boherlahan, Moycarkey, Tubberadora and Toomevara - its foremost champion grew to fame pucking a lone ball against a gable end in
remote Cullen, a spot unsung since the time of Sarsfield’s gallop to Ballyneety.
However, it is on the back cover that the real hero emerges. Surrounded by his cohort of gladiators and with the ageless Rock of Cashel as a backdrop, the rubicund face of Michael Keating gleams in the reflected glory of All-Ireland and Munster trophies. Between the covers, it becomes obvious that Séamus Leahy, not surprisingly, lets the greater praise belong to ‘“Babs” Keating. This is a proud book, conceived as the frustration of the “famine” period from 1972 was swept away in Killarney in 1987 by the euphoric realisation that Tipperary were back.
