Soccer stars blow their own trumpets but we have all we need right here

CIRCUMSTANCES of a complex kind dictated that a team of young Limerick hurlers travelled down a hard road on Sunday to meet Cork in the Munster championship.

They were up against it due to events outside their control but they pulled on their jerseys, donning the county’s hurling pride and passion and took to the field.

Of course they were beaten, and well beaten, but they gave it everything they had.
