Dr Ed Coughlan: Despite the praise and the plaudits, all is not perfect in the world of hurling

Last weekend’s exploits at Croke Park were spellbinding and on occasions, out of this world, says Dr Ed Coughlan.

Peter Duggan’s wonder point for Clare against Galway on Saturday evening to level the scores for the umpteenth time and Nicky Quaid’s inch-perfect block for Limerick on Cork’s Séamus Harnedy to keep them in the game on Sunday afternoon, were two standout moments among many.
