It’s back to school for disciplined Larkin

On the field, Kilkenny senior hurling captain Eoin Larkin leads by example. When the need is greatest, that’s when Eoin is most prominent and time and again throughout a glistening career we’ve seen that.

No hiding from the pressure for this soldier, no running from the battle. Now Eoin has taken to a different field and again he is leading by example.

Like many another youngster before him, Eoin wasn’t very fond of school and dropped out early, never bothered to do his Leaving Cert. No harm in that of course, it’s an over-rated exam anyway and Eoin went on to do three years of an apprenticeship before joining the Army.
