Never too old - Finding Ireland, and yourself, in hurling
Manage episode 507397292 series 3465230
What happens when a man tries to take up hurling at 41?
What does he learn about himself and Ireland’s relationship with its fabled national game.
On Free State today, Second Captains co-host Ciaran Murphy tells us what he learned about Ireland when he joined his father’s old club in West Waterford.
Are the obstacles to more people playing hurling all to do with the skills demanded or are there other reasons we need to examine? Do we pay lip service to this game and is hurling another cultural jewel that Ireland treats poorly?
