Although Kerry may be one of the top dogs annually in the
football championships, it doesn’t have as strong a presence in hurling.
However, two
men, John Lenihan (Chairman, South Kerry
Juvenile Hurling Board) and
Micheal O’Keeffe (PR Officer, South Kerry Juvenile Hurling Board) are on a
mission to change this. They have organised a one-day seminar on “A History of Hurling, Our National Game”, which will be held at The Schoolhouse, Muckross, on Saturday April 26th, 10.30am to 3.45pm.
There is a very strong line-up of speakers, include Seamus
J. King, Paudie Butler, Tomás Mulcahy, Eddie Keher and Sean Kelly, with the
Voice of the GAA, Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh, acting as MC. The day will follow a
format of talks covering topics such as:
“A History of Hurling”
– “Why we should promote & protect Hurling as our National Sport” –
“Hurling as it is Today” – “A Lifetime of Hurling & the way forward” – “The
future of Hurling & it’s importance as Our National Sport”.
Hurling -- not for the faint-hearted: 1958 All Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Semi-Final.
Tipperary 01-13. Kilkenny 01-08
There is a charge
of €10 for tickets, but this will give you access to some of the most influential
names in hurling. Tickets can be purchased from the Events page on the Muckross House website (click here) or from the
booking office: 064 6630804064 6630804.
