Liam Rushe: Sunday Game Young Hurler of the Year 2011
Ronan No comments
Well done to Liam Rushe, who was named the Young Hurler of the Year 2011 from the Sunday Game tonight after a fantastic season. Well deserved Liam, and commiserations to Declan Hannon from Limerick and Padraig Mahony from Waterford who were also in contention. Michael Fennelly from Kilkenny was awarded the Hurler of the Year from the Sunday Game’s panel....

Ronan No comments
Congratulations to Gary Maguire (selected between the posts) and Liam Rushe (selected in midfield), who took their places in the Sunday Game Team of the Year for 2011. By the sounds of it plenty of other lads were also in contention, with Paul Ryan, Peter Kelly, Joey Boland, Ryan O’Dwyer & Conal Keaney all mentioned on the show. Congratulations lads, and good luck to all the Dublin players in the All Stars. Better get the shoes shined and dust off the tuxes! Full 2011 Sunday Game Team of the Year is below: 1. Gary Maguire (DUB) 2. Murphy (KK) 3....
Liam Rushe, Dublin Hurler
This boy’s life takes him all over the field

Still under-21, Liam Rushe is relishing Dublin’s underdog status as they get ready to face Tipperary – no matter what position he plays on Sunday A BALMY Wednesday evening last month, moments before the Leinster under-21 final in Wexford Park, and all eyes are trained on Liam Rushe. Where will he stand? The wonder is he’s still underage. An inside or wing forward when his big teenage frame first arrived on the inter-county scene over two years ago, midfield became home this season. The shuffling was necessitated by full back Tomás Brady’s knee injury, and while Joey Boland’s shoulder healed,...

We must learn from lessons of past and push on: Rushe
dublin No comments
Dublin hurler Liam Rushe is determined that he and his team-mates put the cold lessons of the last two summers to good use when the Dubs come face-to-face with an improving Limerick in this Sunday’s All-Ireland SHC quarter-final at Semple Stdium (2.0). Two years ago the Dubs made the championship exit at the hands of a more physical and experienced Limerick side in Thurles while last summer the boys in blue saw a six-point advantage vanish in the dying minutes as Antrim shocked Anthony Daly’s men in Croke Park. “I would like to see how many starters we have from...
Rushe in hurry to redeem
dublin No comments
IT’S BEEN a busy week for Liam Rushe but don’t expect him to be too flustered by it all. Last Wednesday, the Palmerstown man created a piece of Irish broadcasting history when he became the first GAA player to be the subject of ‘Player Cam’ during Dublin’s Leinster Under-21 final with Wexford in Wexford Park. Did it create extra pressure or draw unwarranted attention onto himself? Not a chance. Helpfully, Rushe made sure they had something to look at by putting in a nerveless Man of The Match performance to claim his second provincial medal at the grade in successive...

Rushe subject of player cam in Bord Gais Energy Leinster U21HC final

Dublin captain Liam Rushe will be the subject of the first ever player cam to feature in Gaelic Games as he takes to the field against Wexford in Wednesday’s Bord Gáis Energy Leinster Hurling U-21 Final.  The match will throw-in at Wexford Park at 7.30pm as the home side aim to take revenge over Dublin for last year’s defeat in the same fixture for a chance to meet the Ulster champions in the All-Ireland semi finals. At Parnell Park in 2010, the two sides played out a thriller as a late goal from Dublin’s David Quinn ensured the victory following...
Rushe: We stole Cats’ blueprint
fodh No comments
IMITATION, it’s said, is the sincerest form of flattery and on Sunday old Kilkenny meets new Kilkenny in the Leinster SHC final. Yes, it’s the Cats versus the Dubs, but when the high-profile Kilkenny players take up their positions, they’ll be looking at a mirror image of themselves. By Diarmuid O’Flynn Who says? Liam Rushe. And he should know. “We’ve pretty much stolen their whole game-plan,” admitted Liam. “It (the gameplan) was never a secret anyway, they’ve been at the top for so long. Hurling is a simple game and that’s the way they play it. “They don’t give you...

Rushe hour: Young star epitomises confidence of Dublin’s new breed
fodh No comments
ONE OF Anthony Daly’s first acts as Dublin manager was to single Liam Rushe out for special praise. It was New Year’s Day in 2009 and Daly’s first match in charge. Rushe was in action and, as captain of the previous year’s minor team, he had been touted for a senior role at some stage in the future. But Daly recognised his talent instantly and, in a freezing Portmarnock, acknowledged as much afterwards. “Some of the young lads did very well,” he said. “Liam Rushe was very impressive. He’s still very young but he showed great potential there.” Perhaps it...
Dublin’s hero richly deserves Man of the Match award on his 21st birthday
dublin No comments
LIAM RUSHE stands beaming like a Buddha in the wide concrete tunnel separating the Dublin and Galway dressing rooms under the terrace in O’Connor Park. It’s Rushe’s 21st birthday, a fact relayed earlier by Anthony Daly who disclosed the information with a disclaimer: “I’m delighted for him. He won’t be having any alcohol though.” Meanwhile, Rushe has already told RTÉ that his stated choice of present is a surf board. Instead, he has settled for the Man of the Match award for unnerving excellence in Dublin’s trimming of Galway and a spot in the Leinster final. Crystalware in hand, he...

DUBLIN 0-19 GALWAY 2-7 Dublin’s ascent towards hurling’s summit continued with this confident six point victory over Galway in Saturday evening’s Leinster SHC semi-final at O’Connor Park, Tullamore. In the build up to the game the message from the Dublin camp was simple – “We need to take a big scalp” and that’s précised what they did in resounding fashion as they outhurled the Tribesmen for the majority of this duel. The loss of Tomás Brady (subbed in the 11th minute), when he injured his ‘good’ knee, did not knock Dublin off their stride – it was an early double...
