Blast from the Past

In 1993 Nenagh played Knockavilla Donaskeigh Kickhams in Templemore as part of a senior hurling championship double header as Toomevara played Cashel King Cormacs the same day. Nenagh prevailed on the day 1-14 to 0-12. Below are extracts from the match programme which included a feature on club legend Mick Burns, winner of five All-Ireland senior hurling medals.

Also included, was a look back at the 1964 clash between Nenagh and Holycross Ballycahill.

WHAT. A. SESSION. A thrilling three-player social ‘ground’ hurling workout lit up the astro last Wednesday evening as Eamon Phelan, Martin Hogan and Conor O’Donovan went toe-to-toe in a relentless display of skill, sweat and sheer determination. This was no casual knockabout, this was full-blooded hurling drama from start to finish.

The action burst into life with a high-tempo warm-up as the trio spent ten punishing minutes striking against the wall on the move, left and right side, forwards, sideways and even on the backpedal. And in a twist nobody saw coming, Martin Hogan somehow turned warm-up into a personal highlight reel, rattling in three goals and one point as if it were the most normal thing in the world.

Next came the brutal end-to-end striking drill and the intensity went through the roof. Two players anchored at one end fired rapid deliveries to the third stationed at the far end, with each player rotating through the solo role for two full minutes at a time. With no space to hide and constant lateral movement demanded throughout, there was absolutely zero chance of anyone taking a breather here.

A much-needed water break followed as lungs were refilled and minds were momentarily reset. Even then, the talk never stopped, with the current GAA Hurling Rules survey coming under the microscope in lively and detailed debate, proving that the thinking game never switches off even when the hurleys are down.

The session signed off with the nerve-shredding ‘two touches’ drill, where control had to be perfect: first touch to settle, second touch to strike on to the far end. Each player rotated twice through the dreaded role of the man in the middle, otherwise known as ‘piggy’, and by the end there was nothing left in the tank. A superb evening’s work all round and already the anticipation is building for next Wednesday’s 8.15pm showdown.

If you are interested in taking part please contact Conor O’Donovan or alternatively, show up next Wednesday!
