Come What May

by: Donal Og Cusack
I'll confess that I was prompted to buy this book as a result of all the hype in the press about Donal Og Cusack's "coming out" and in truth the writer is blunt and honest in admitting he is gay. But this fact is just one aspect of a fascinating insider's view of growing up in a hurling-obsessed family and county. That said, it is a remarkable dimension to this story given the very masculine, very patriarchal and very traditional world of hurling. In his account of shattering hurleys and shins, one can't help but note that the biggest thing shattered in this book is the stereotype of a top class male athlete.

Three Kings - Cork Kilkenny Tipperary: The Battle for Hurling Supremacy

by: Ralph Riegel
The old rivalries between these three counties are around as long as the GAA itself, and as hard-fought and intensely felt now as any time over the past hundred and twenty years.

This book honors that great tradition and celebrates the wins and losses that brought excitement, pain and intensity to the followers of these three counties. The book also examines how it is that these three kings rise to the top year after year.

These hurling moments live on in the imagination and in conversation, forever being honed and revisited.

Blood Brothers

by: Michael Moynihan
“The most fascinating GAA team of the last twenty years”

In 1996 the Cork senior hurlers suffered a record loss to Limerick in the first round of the Munster hurling championship; three years later they were All-Ireland champions. Three years after that title they were the first GAA team to go on strike; three years after that they had won two All-Ireland titles in a row.

Along the way they blazed a trail for GAA players by standing up for their rights; they revolutionised tactics in the game of hurling and they have given Irish sport some of its most unforgettable characters and moments.
