Former Tipperary keeper Brendan Cummins
Former Tipperary goalkeeper Brendan Cummins scored a whopping 19 points for his club Ballybacon /Grange in a divisional club championship game last weekend.

The 39-year-old, who retired from inter-county hurling last year, showed that class is permanent as he racked up the huge tally from midfield in an eight-point victory over Cahir in the South Tipperary IHC last Friday night. Five of those scores came from play, 10 from frees, three from '65s' and one from a sideline.

Cummins' performance was described as a "masterclass of accuracy" by local newspaper The Nationalist.

"Cahir's biggest problem was the number of frees conceded and with former Tipperary goalkeeper Brendan Cummins deadly accurate (he finished with 10 points from frees in a personal total of 19) it proved very costly," read the newspaper's account of the do-or-die game.
