Maybe it will come in the next 2 episodes but would love to hear the voices of the hurling communities in places like Ballyduff ( Kerry), Tooreen ( Mayo), Four Roads ( Ros) , any of the clubs in the Ards penisula in Down. These are islands of hurling fanaticism full of natural hurlers and there are many more clubs /areas like them but there is a bit of a thing in hurling that unless you are from the traditional hurling areas , you cant really know about the game and your opinion is not worthy. facethepuckout (Roscommon) - Posts: 214 - 03/08/2018 23:00:44 2128842 Link 4 |
True but Galway strolled into semi finals for well over 110 years.

My disappointment with the "The Game" was its lack of contextual history. It was full of embarressing hyperbole about striking a sliotar and touching your soul........ yeah i get the thrill of striking the ball still do years after i stopped playing. I would have liked to have seen the geographic spread and how it is kept alive in islands and pockets around this island. Of course the central story is the All ireland and the rivalries. I get no sense of the fiery revolutionary zeal in the early 20th century. A beautifully shot magazine - its not a book, not even a good short story. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4898 - 05/08/2018 12:44:57 2129321 Link 0 |
