Brothers lead the way as hurling comes into its own in Ardmore

ARDMORE and hurling are hardly synonymous. Football has long since been the dominant GAA code in the seaside club, but the Prendergast brothers, Seamas and Declan, are at the hub of what has been a remarkable transformation.

Today Ardmore is one of a just a handful of dual senior clubs in the county and is holding its own in the hugely competitive hurling arena. They’ve come from junior to senior in two very remarkable years with the Prendergasts leading a spectacular hurling resurgence.

Last year their senior championship debut was against the reigning county champions Mount Sion, and they came within a whisker of bringing off what would have been the biggest championship upset in a generation.
