Legend and his old Limerick half-back buddy Paudie O’Brien has it that Wayne McNamara once broke three hurleys at a throw-in.

Perhaps it was for the betterment of the dwindling ash supplies that McNamara stepped away from the inter-county game as he did at the end of 2016 but the tale would be in keeping with the tough, no-nonsense reputation of the Adare man.
