'Tim Horgan, author of the acclaimed Christy Ring - Hurling's Greatest, vividly evokes the thrills and excitement, the passion and endeavour, the joys and sorrows, the artistry and heroics of Cork's hurlers over the past 125 years. A must-read for every Cork hurling fan and all followers of the clash of the ash. 'If you haven't played Cork in a final,' said Jimmy Doyle, the famous Tipperary hurler, 'you haven't played a final.' His words reflect the sheer pleasure Tipperary people derive from having 'Cork bet and the hay saved'. His words reflect the high esteem in which Cork's hurlers are held by other counties. Here, Tim Horgan, author of the acclaimed Christy Ring - Hurling's Greatest, vividly evokes the thrills and excitement, the passion and endeavour, the joys and sorrows, the artistry and heroics of Cork's hurlers over the past 125 years. Cork's thirty All-Ireland title victories in this great spectator sport are brought to life again. Memories of the big games, the scores and misses, the victories and defeats, personalities and great players, and the controversies, are all recalled. The result is a fascinating story with the many threads woven together to form an enthralling narrative, a must-read for every Cork hurling fan and all followers of the clash of the ash.
