Its year of origin is somewhat unclear, but what is absolutely certain is that the hurley belonging to Jack Lynch, which was presented to the Glen Rovers club over the weekend, has truly stood the test of time.

On Sunday evening at the Glen’s Blackpool clubhouse, Jerry Galvin of Churchtown, North Cork, handed over the piece of ash, now six decades old, which was once the possession of the former Taoiseach and six-time All-Ireland medal winner.
