A book that recalls the sporting battles for the Liam MacCarthy Cup from its introduction in the early 1920s to the All Ireland final in 2008 was launched by former Kilkenny great, Eddie Keher, on Monday evening. This unique publication by two of Ireland’s premier sports’ journalists, Sean Óg Ó Ceallacháin and Owen McCann, captures the drama of every hurling final down through the decades. Complete with the match reports,teams, scores and statistics of all the finals since 1923, The Liam MacCarthy Cup is a fantastic account of the ultimate stage of the fastest game on earth.
The spectacular feats of great players, managers, and the contribution of sporting officials are also acknowledged, while a section on the fun statistics and facts of the hurling championship offers something a little extra for the sports’ fans.
