‘Tippy tappy? Wheelchair hurling’s best thing I’ve done’

"Maurice Noonan from Ballingarry, our vice-captain, cut over two sidelines in the All-Ireland final. If he could walk, he’d be walking onto the Limerick team right now."

“You really have to see it to believe it. There is no pulling back just because someone is in a wheelchair. I remember one lad got taken to hospital for concussion because he got bashed against a wall. Another went through a fire escape because of the pace he was going at when challenging for the sliotar.

“It is anything but tippy-tappy,” says All-Ireland-winning wheelchair hurler Caroline O’Halloran, determined to banish the most common misconception surrounding her beloved game.
