Maestros of golf and hurling meet

TOP Cat DJ Carey fears he could be relegated to the subs bench by none other than Tiger Woods himself.

The hero of hurling broke bread with the golf maestro on Thursday night. And in true sporting spirit, the Kilkenny forward presented Tiger with his very own hurley and sliothar after the private dinner hosted by JP McManus.

“It was a great honour to meet such a sportsman. It was the first time I met him in the flesh. I wouldn’t like to meet him as a full-back. I gave him the gifts and told him a bit about the game. He was very interested, right up to the point I told him it was an amateur game.
