I was thinking over the past few days of hurlers who put their club on the map, at least in modern times. For example, I would say Matthew O'Hanlon has put St. James on the map in a hurling context, they were a football club only up until maybe 20 years ago.

Who are St James? Have they won much? Id say: - any of the Cannings and Portunma - Joe Cooney and Hopper Mc Grath ...Sarsfields - Joe Rabbitte and Athenry - Either of the Kerns's and Clarinbridge - The Burkes and St Thoms ...maybe just because they all won All Ireland seniors tho The_DOC (Galway) - Posts: 705 - 28/06/2017 15:14:16 2006927 Link 0 |

I'm aware that Mount Sion would be well known in Waterford and indeed, Munster too, but due to the brilliant Tony Browne they came to my attention. Wests_Awake (Galway) - Posts: 877 - 28/06/2017 17:44:09 2007026 Link 0 |

Take Mullinahone in Tipperary probably football country until John Leahy arrived. Some of the best hurlers in the country from the last 25 years have come from that tiny village. WildPundit (Tipperary) - Posts: 1709 - 28/06/2017 18:08:51 2007039 Link 0 |

Maybe not exactly what the OP intended but Eoghan Conroy from Naomh Maur is getting game time for Dublin this year. A hurler from Rush!!! Great to see. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13703 - 28/06/2017 19:15:22 2007071 Link 0 |

Damian Casey, Eoghan Ruadh Hurling club Dungannon, Tyrone, would probably be in contention for a starting place in most counties, though Tyrone playing at a lower level his skills are hardly ever seen bulmccabe (Tyrone) - Posts: 361 - 28/06/2017 22:28:49 2007157 Link 0 |
Was Kevin O'Brien a good hurler too?

Excellent analogy! Don't rule out Inis Oirr wining a senior county title in the next 5 years, All Ireland senior club the same year....said no one....ever The_DOC (Galway) - Posts: 705 - 29/06/2017 08:56:44 2007256 Link 0 |

A lot of good hurlers in St James far from a one man team.
