Inspired by his 18th All-Ireland final as senior manager of Kilkenny and the recently-released movie Blinded By The Light which features Springsteen’s music prominently, John Fogarty relates 18 lyrics by The Boss about the real boss:

Dónal Óg Cusack had already begun changing the game with short puckouts in 2003 and 2004 but Damien Fitzhenry’s puckout masterclass against Kilkenny in the 2004 Leinster semi-final was still a keynote moment in hurling’s expanding tactical revolution.

If Kilkenny hurling was a Leaving Cert subject, Wexford would treat it as the one you don’t count when calculating your points total.
