Winners to a tee
THEY were born in 1956 and charted parallel courses in their hurling careers. Joe Hennessey is from Kilkenny, where All-Ireland titles are practically a birthright; Joe Connolly is from Castlegar, Galway a county that knew only hunger, frustration and dashed hope. And yet, by the time they had finished their inter-county careers, they had both reached the ultimate heights. The two Allstars had joined forces against the Examiner's Tony Considine and Diarmuid O'Flynn in an epic golf match in Nenagh Golf Club, all four sat and talked. And talked and talked.
JC: If you listen to the contents of that speech, it was very average. As I was talking, I was wondering what am I going to say next here! I think the reason people still talk about it is because it was completely in Irish.
