‘Hello, everybody, and welcome to the Athletic Grounds in Cork for this important hurling game between Cork and Tipperary. Two counties famed in history, famed in song, and famed in story as the greats of hurling. And crowds have come far and wide to see this game… and to see Christy Ring.’
— Michael O’Hehir, RTÉ, 1960
