FOR LIMERICK HURLERS Declan Hannon and David Reidy, this was a whole new experience.
We reckon this is the world’s first game of hurling ever played on horseback, and it’s all for a good cause to raise money for injured jockey Robbie McNamara.
“It is very exciting, it’s a totally new concept to me,” said Hannon.
“It’s similar to polo, you’d see it on television.
“It’s for a great cause for Robbie McNamara, anything you can do to help and raise money for Robbie would be great.
“It’s fairly exciting and hopefully it takes off.”
Reidy said: ”It’s a totally new experience for me personally, I’ve never ridden a horse before.
“There’s a few skills in hurling that you could use in any walk of life, hopefully we’ll be able to use a few of them.”
Dave Barry was pure class. Won 2 All Irelands and scored for Cork City in Europe, against the likes of Galatasaray, and during a famous draw with Bayern Munich – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CUVBzMhm_w
Great footage. A hint of offside!! Big Sam had a ‘mare by the looks of things. Turners cross has come on alot – the shed was literally.. a shed
Im fairness to Sam he was down a few players and had to play himself. He was late 30s and the jerseys barely fit him. We played the most attractive football that season with a youth team and some old pros winning the first division easily. I was sad to see him go. But the weekly bucket collection door to door that he himself had to partake in had an effect on him. Fondly remembered.in limerick
Decent crowd
Great to see the way the cross was back in the day. City had a handy team back then.
That would be Cormac Kanchelskis to give him his correct title.
