Two generations of Glen hurlers gathered around the one table at the Oriel House Hotel in Ballincollig last Saturday.

Legends keep Glen hurlers on right road

Donal Cronin, during the week previous, had heard several mentions of how their win over Patrickswell at the Gaelic Grounds had progressed the club to a first Munster club final in 40 years. Nice symmetry and all that, but Cronin paid little heed. He had more important matters to be concentrating the mind, namely the Ballyea midfield partnership of 2013 hurler of the year Tony Kelly and captain Stan Lineen.

Recently retired Glen hurler David Goggin held his wedding reception at the Oriel House and as you’d expect, a fair few club members were invited along. Present was Denis Coughlan, centre-back on the 1976 Munster club winning team. Also in attendance was Pat Horgan, midfield 40 years ago. Donal Cronin got chatting to the pair and listening to tales from their 1976 campaign quickly hammered home the importance of getting back to the provincial decider, and winning it.
