IN MODERN IRISH LIFE

Praise for Sport in Modern Irish Life

‘Take everything you think you know about sport, park it and enjoy wonderfully told stories through a completely unique lens. Brilliantly written and put together. This book gives us all a look at the present and the past through facts –and more importantly with its own unique take on important events. A must read.’

Oisín McConville

‘It’s incredible how perfectly told stories about what should seem a broad subject can feel so personal, not just to the author, but to the reader as well. So many disparate tales somehow fit together and evoke a full range of emotions. From grieving a lost Irish US Open tennis champion, to smiling at a hurling rivalry during the War of Independence, I learned so much – and felt so much – throughout.’
