Hurling boss in 'back to basics' rallying call

GAA director of hurling Paudie Butler called on hurling enthusiasts to get back to the basics last night in the bid to spread the hurling gospel.

Butler was speaking at the National Hurling Forum and urged those present that honing the skills of a child, and getting them to hold their hurls properly - while a simple task - was fundamental to the development of the small ball game.
