Product Description
Christy Ring from Cloyne, County Cork, is regarded as the greatest hurler of all time. He won eight senior All-Ireland medals and eighteen Railway Cup medals in his 24-year career before retiring from inter-county hurling aged 43. Tim Horgan traces his playing career with its many highlights and captures his unique charisma that excited and attracted people to him. Included is Ben Kiely's report on Christy playing at the opening of Casement Park, Belfast, in 1953, and an unpublished interview before the 1953 All-Ireland. It is a lively, affectionate account of his lifelong commitment to hurling, embellished with memories of great players and personalities, and glorious games won and lost. ""Exhaustive and fascinating."" Irish Echo
