Publisher's Synopsis
First awarded in 1923, Seán Óg Ó Ceallacháin and Owen McCann survey every decade since then, recalling many of the most famous All-Ireland hurling finals:
· The thunder and lightning final of 1939, played in a monsoon on the day World War II broke out · The great Cork and Wexford finals of the 1950s · The achievements of the Tipperary team in the 1960s · Cork's three in a row in the late 1970s · The Galway revival in the 1980s. · The memorable smash-and-grab raid by Offaly in 1994 when Limerick had all but won the championship · Clare and Loughnane in the late 1990s · The big three: Cork, Tipperary and Kilkenny after 2000 · Kilkenny's three in a row in 2008.
There is nostalgia and excitement in these pages for every lover of the national game.
