It’s All-Ireland hurling final week. I’ve loved hurling my whole life. But I’d never played it. Until last year, when... I moved to Waterford. I joined my dad’s club, Old Parish. I tried to understand by doing. And I wrote a book. Pre-order it from today linktr.ee/oldparish

Álainn an scéal a bheith lárnach i bParóiste na Seanphobail. Scéal pearsanta, greannmhar agus fíor – ag súil go mór leis an leabhar. Can’t wait to read all the stories about our small parish and club. Míle buíochas Ciarán 🔴⚪️
