Worldly Cummins has parish pride

FRANK CUMMINS is generally recognised as being one of the greatest hurlers of all time, certainly one of the greatest midfielders.

Between 1968 and his retirement from inter-county fare in 1984 he won eight All-Ireland senior medals with Kilkenny.

On the club scene he also enjoyed remarkable success, and as an exile in Cork played a pivotal part in a brilliant Blackrock team that won six county titles, five Munsters, and three All-Ireland club titles.
