'I Love Me County': Waterford Sporting Stories by Cian Manning

Waterford, the Gentle County, can boast a proud sporting tradition that is as long as it is unusual. Irelands oldest city has witnessed many trends, from blood sports like bull-baiting in Ballybricken to roller hockey at the Olympia Ballroom. But the towns and villages of County Waterford were not to be overshadowed, producing notable sports people such as basketballers and boxers.

In I Love Me County, learn about everyone from camogie pioneers to World Champions, as this collection of stories records the lives, loves and losses of some of Waterfords forgotten sporting heroes, demonstrating the importance of sport and leisure in the history of the county.
