Clash of the Ash (Wednesday): 10 hurls that paid for their sins

When commitment and sport combine, wood is liable to shatter.

BEHOLD. ON THIS day of days, we bring you a collection of images that will send you scrambling to the worship at the altar of your local hurling legend.

What better way to celebrate the start of lent, and Clash of the Ash (Wednesday), than marvelling and hurlers giving it socks.

Deane is a Rebel without a hurl
Eyes on the prize lads
Here, give it back
That's just not going to cut it
Have some of this
Not giving an inch
The Laois boys at it again
Dan is the man in this clash of ash
But Cork get revenge later in the year
Does it count if the hurley goes in?
