HURLERS will always argue their code is the real deal.
And when you see a picture like this, it’s hard to argue.
The ancient game has been played in Donegal for at least 600 years and was already well established in Burt before the GAA was founded and people in Kilkenny were playing cricket.
The sport may have evolved since then.
It has never lost its magic.
Pictured are Conor Mc Neeley (Aodh Rua) and Aaron O’ Connell (St. Eunan’s) contesting a high ball during the Senior hurling league clash in Fr. Tierney park on Monday last.
