De La Salle have set the bar but Sars can raise it

Of the two teams in tomorrow’s Munster club final the club most hurling people would be most aware of is Thurles Sarsfields.

And yet the team with far the greater reputation in Munster is De La Salle. Champions of 2008 and 2010, in the final again now, and every game they’ve played has been on the road.

It’s a great reflection on the club and everyone involved that they can achieve so much in a short time. Especially in a city. To keep players is one thing, to keep them playing at this level for so long, I’m sure that has taken a huge amount of effort.
