It was disappointing not to win a Connacht title for the Leitrim supporters - Packie McGarty Reporter: In April 2016, the Round Towers club in Clondalkin, Dublin featured an interview with Packie. Seán Creedon spoke with the former Leitrim footballer and St Brigid s Road and Newlands resident who gave a fascinating insight into his career. Leitrim may have the smallest population of any county in Ireland, but the county has given us some famous people, like Packie McGarty. The legendary Packie, who played senior football for Leitrim for 23 years, finished his career here in Clondalkin with Towers. Anywhere GAA supporters meet and you mention that you are connected with Round Towers, the name Packie McGarty comes up with people enquiring about the brilliant forward. ....
NOEL SKEHAN (Kilkenny) He spent several years as No 2 to Ollie Walsh but when his chance finally came he was more than ready to step in. He became arguably the greatest ’keeper of all time, underlined by an All-Star haul which yielded seven awards between 1972 and 1983. The secret of his success? I trained harder every year. Not by slogging around fields, but on squash courts, handball alleys and anywhere else I thought would make me sharp. 2. Brendan Cummins (Tipperary) 3. Ger Cunningham (Cork) 4. Davy Fitzgerald (Clare) 5. Damien Fitzhenry (Wexford) RIGHT-FULL BACK ‘FAN’ LARKIN (Kilkenny) Perseverance paid off. An All-Ireland winner in 1963, he was off the scene for a few years later in the decade before returning for what turned out to be a great run. All-Ireland titles rolled in and so too did All-Star awards – four between 1973 and 1978. Small in stature, his innate hurling instinct empowered him to deal with much taller opponents. He even h ....
STEPHEN CLUXTON (Dublin) What is it with Dublin and goalkeeping excellence? Cluxton (2002 to the present), John O’Leary (1980-’97) and Paddy Cullen (1967-’79) have won 15 All-Star awards between them in a 6-5-4 share-out. Incredibly, the trio have been Dublin’s first choice at No 1 for 50 of the past 54 years (Davy Byrne had the honour for four seasons in 1998-2001). Cullen and O’Leary set exceptionally high standards, but even they have been surpassed by Cluxton who, at the age of 39, shows no signs of decline. O’Leary heads the rest of the contenders after a brilliant career in which he played in all 70 of Dublin’s championship games for 18 seasons. ....
How Christy Ring became hurling s reluctant superstar Updated / Monday, 14 Dec 2020 16:02 Christy Ring established himself as the greatest hurler of the modern age during a career that stretched over an astonishing 25 years Analysis: perhaps the Corkman s greatest achievement is the regard with which he was held beyond the county As long as there is hurling, there will be arguments over who is the greatest hurler. As long as these arguments happen, Christy Ring of Glen Rovers and Cork will be mentioned. However, the constant homages to Ring goes against the nature of the man himself, the game s reluctant superstar. Ring established himself as the greatest hurler of the modern age during an extraordinary career that stretched over an astonishing 25 years. Known locally as the rock of Cloyne, he joined Glen Rovers in 1941 and played well into his forties. His first taste of Croke Park was with the Cork minors in 1938 and his final appearance there was with ....
