Sunday’s semi-final was a barnstormer, the type of match that sinks its claws in and pulls you along at full tilt. No one could take their eyes away from the constant harrying and hitting. Yet James Crombie decided to look away.
The Inpho snapper has carved out a name as one of the best sports photographers worldwide. His sensational shot of a young Kilkenny fan, an U6 hurler from the Naomh Éanna club, standing in the Davin Stand watching the drama is just the latest in a longlist of celebrated efforts.
