His words reflect the sheer pleasure Tipperary people derive from having 'Cork bet and the hay saved'. His words reflect the high esteem in which Cork's hurlers are held by other counties. Here, Tim Horgan, author of the acclaimed Christy Ring - Hurling's Greatest, vividly evokes the thrills and excitement, the passion and endeavour, the joys and sorrows, the artistry and heroics of Cork's hurlers over the past 125 years. Cork's thirty All-Ireland title victories in this great spectator sport are brought to life again. Memories of the big games, the scores and misses, the victories and defeats, personalities and great players, and the controversies, are all recalled. The result is a fascinating story with the many threads woven together to form an enthralling narrative, a must-read for every Cork hurling fan and all followers of the clash of the ash.

In stock in Ireland - HARDBACK - good condition - dust jacket is in good condition with shelf scuffing - boards are clean and tight - spine is uncreased and the spine text is clear - page block is clean and tidy - 2009 edition - Stories are still told abou…t Jasper Wolfe in West Cork. Born a Methodist in 1872, he attended Catholic school, was apprenticed as a solicitor, came first in the Law Finals and established a successful legal practice. It was soon said he had all West Cork for a client . A strong supporter of Home Rule he gave an acclaimed speech at a huge rally in London in 1912 to launch the Southern Protestant Home Rule movement. After Easter 1916 he was appointed Crown Solicitor for the City and West Riding of Cork. He put the Crown case at the inquest into the murder of the Republican Lord Mayor of Cork, Tomás MacCurtain, and was soon a top target for the IRA. Three times sentenced to death, he was twice rescued by a Catholic priest, and twice had to flee the country. After the Civil War Jasper put old quarrels behind him and made a name as a defence lawyer for dissident Republicans. In 1927 he was elected to the Dáil, helped save the government from defeat by Fianna Fáil, and topped the poll in his second general election. He retired from politics in 1933. Admired in legal circles, he became President of the Law Society of Ireland in 1940, the first from Cork. Jasper was clever, convivial and hard-drinking. Personally fearless, he was cherished for the stories his exploits generated. More seriously, he stood for an Ireland at peace and at ease with itself. Seán O Faoláin wrote: Wolfe and men like him are modern Ireland. It has made them and they have made it. He is an epitome of the natural unity of Irish Life .
