Model hurlers putt out by golf trophy ‘insult’

JUST because it’s called the Model County doesn’t mean that all sporting models — and especially golfing ones — can be used on Wexford hurling trophies.

You can make all the stick and ball comparisons you like, but when golfing models were used as the inspiration for figures on hurling prizes, the reaction was understandably one of delayed outrage.

To the sporting eye the “gorling” trophies are just that, figures in golfing poses while holding camáns.
