Hand On Heart - Waterford hurling great McGrath to release book

The Mount Sion man will release the story of his life in mid-October.

WATERFORD HURLING GREAT Ken McGrath has announced that his autobiography will be released in October.

McGrath made the announcement on Twitter last night that his life story ‘Hand On Heart’ will be published.

The 39 year-old enjoyed a brilliant hurling career with Waterford and is one of the greatest players never to have won an All-Ireland senior hurling medal.

He came closest in 2008 when Waterford lost the final to Kilkenny while also competing in several All-Ireland semi-finals.

McGrath won four Munster senior hurling medals in 2002, 2004, 2007 and 2010, along with a National hurling league medal in 2007.

In 2002, 2004 and 2007, McGrath’s playing exploits saw him receive All-Star awards while he won six county senior medals with his club Mount Sion and a Munster senior club medal in 2002.

    Rugby is a game of Inches, Clawing there way back to regain there lost respect from recent times, The squad representing these Four Proud Provinces, Rising like a phoenix from the ashes, throw Caution to the four winds Like the Four provinces, With every try we shall Rise like a swell in the Ocian to give strength to our brothers as they clash with the world. PS! Ask Hook what country dose he come from.
