'Superbly laid out for easy reference, and generously illustrated, this book covers all aspects of the game - how a hurley is made, the might of legendary players, county colours and songs, tips on how to improve your play ... As well as being a joyful read for the young enthusiast, it's also an inspired revelation for the uninitiated.' Sunday Tribune
