In a game of chances, you can count on Fast Eddie

HE is known simply as Fast Eddie. And on Saturday, Eddie Brennan lived up that reputation in Croke Park as his blistering pace and superb finishing skills fired Kilkenny past Galway and into an All-Ireland SHC semi-final against Wexford on Sunday.

Brennan, a Portlaoise-based Garda, has played through the good times and the bad (as he did for a good part of this game).

Such experience explain why his post match reaction was so matter-of-fact. This was a day when the chances came and he was able to avail of them.
