Munster Hurling Legends: Seven Decades of the Greatest Teams, Players and Games by Eamonn Sweeney
Hurling is a game like no other. It is the fastest field game in the world and one of the oldest: a game that demands superb skill, lightning speed and split second reactions. In Munster, hurling is a religion! For the players and fans there is nothing to compare to the clash of the ash and the sweet moment of victory.
Eamonn Sweeney introduces the stars of Munster hurling, the games that have brought the crowds to tears and the colourful stories and legends that have become part of hurling lore.
From around the province, Munster has bred some of the finest hurlers ever seen: Christy Ring, Mick Mackey, Tom Cheasty, John Doyle and Sean McMahon, to name but a few. Munster Hurling Legends is a celebration of the sport, the players, the wins and the losses, and of course, of Munster itself -- the home of hurling!
