Limerick: where broken dreams are a way of life

When it comes to hurling, tears, near misses and misfortune have become a way of life for Limerick — a tragic story now chronicled in a new book, writes Michael Moynihan.

YOU may not be able to judge a book by its cover, but you can surely make a stab at its worth based on its title.

Henry Martin has written a history of Limerick hurling and the primary teacher from Galbally crystallises the experience of following those green-and-white jersey with the irresistible title: Unlimited Heartbreak.
