“Fascinating tales, told through the eyes of those involved, or from the perspective of those who were instrumental. It takes you through the unsung heroes in the establishment of Gaelic Games in this country, to the institution that is very much part of our culture today. Great moments are shared and stories told of the different clubs’ evolution over the years. Legends are celebrated, especially those who have gone before us, and we learn of more equally impactful individuals whose tales are not as well-known. It’s a great read. It’s the story, from start to finish, of how this sport has shaped Southeast Galway.”
Darren Kelly (Galway Bay FM Sport)
“Under a myriad of skies, this sport has shaped communities and created memories that last a lifetime. From the glory of county triumphs to the pride of our local clubs, from legends of the past to the players of today, this book captures them in its many fascinating stories. It’s a celebration of our game, our people, and our county. It captures the passion, the heartbreak, the joy, and the unbreakable spirit of the game in Galway.”
Sarah Dervan (two-time Galway All-Ireland winning captain)
“Growing up in the hurling heartland of East Galway, I have always been aware of our community’s deep connection to our national games. Our place occupies a unique and significant space in the history of the game. This book serves as a reminder of that rich history while also celebrating the stories, characters, and famous players who have helped shape hurling through the generations.”
