Donnellan out to seize day

There are those who rave over the thoroughbred racehorse, the lines and the speed of Frankel and so on, but what if you have a field to be ploughed, what good is your Frankel then?

That’s when the Clydesdale comes into his own, the big, broad-backed auld plough-horse.

For all its pace and precision hurling too needs its Clydesdale artisans, the plough-horses who do the work less glamorous but the work still very much necessary. For Galway that’s Cyril Donnellan.
