I remember a hurling training session when I was about 8 the coach roaring at us - you onlyThey were both very wasteful. I thought Clare, moreso, but they rallied in the second half of extra time to go three points ahead.
Cork still came back to within a point and should have equalised with the last shot of the game.
It’s a proper hard dynamic sport. A real man’s game. You don’t find anyone diving to the ground clutching their faces and they really do take hard knocks.

Where was that session? I'm from Clonakilty and could have told you where to go...We certainly do.
Cork (Clonakilty) was very disappointing. What we thought was a session was some guys singing Stevie Wonder!
I went to a kind of famous hurling academy in Cork back in the day which is no longer there now. Got told the exact same thing; "get stuck in and you won't get hurt" Well I got hurt and almost lost my eye. Why? Because I didn't get stuck into a 50/50 ball on the ground. The other fella hit it and his hurl came up and hit me right in the eye. If I had been closer, it would have missed. I learned my lesson.We were more or less told the same by the Christian Brother in charge of weekly PE.
Of course he told us nothing about protecting yourself.
Nearly had my thumb taken off by the other guys hurley sliding up mine when I went in to block.
We never played much hurling after our year was banned from competition until we left school, after a mass brawl against our local rival school.

Not sure if it was De Barras or Caseys to be honest. Probably Caseys because De Barras is a folk bar and they had a folk band on from memory.Where was that session? I'm from Clonakilty and could have told you where to go...
