Great story. One of the best that has been posted as a fogra.
Edit: meant to say as well a great ending. "Neither of them got a mention in the Irish Independent......... Job done"

A lovely story. I met him a few times and he was a gentleman but never saw him hurl as it was before I was born.
There is great article on the Rower`s home page about the 1968 championship.

I love the story of the disallowed goal against Thomastown.

Extremely well written.
Well deserving of its status.
I think it brings a memory or two back to us all.
