The Knights of Glin
On the world scene we can look at rugby for example and think of New Zealand in the southern hemisphere, south Wales on this side of the equator; more locally, on the GAA scene we all know of the two Ks, Kilkenny in hurling and the mighty Kingdom of Kerry in football. But what of coursing?
Where is coursing’s stronghold? It’s a thorny question, and as with hurling, football, rugby, a question to which there are a myriad of answers, depending on who’s doing the answering. Without question, however, one of the places with a strong claim is Glin in west Limerick, on the north Kerry border and running along the south bank of the Shannon Estuary, and one of those who would make that argument is Pat Moloney, patriarch of a local clan long immersed in this ancient pastime.
