Positive-thinking Tom putting Knockaderry on the hurling map

To achieve something in your home place that has never been done before is something very special.

This year, feisty Limerick corner-back Tom Condon has done that, and on the double. Condon plays his club hurling with Knockaderry, a rural parish between Ballingarry and Newcastlewest in west Limerick.

It’s an area steeped in GAA tradition, has produced hurlers and footballers since the foundation of the Association. None, however, had ever won anything of note on the national stage, that is until Tom did so this year.
