Captains of the Ash
Brendan Fullam

“Another lovingly crafted hurling tome. No self-respecting hurling fan should be without one.”
- Sunday Tribune

Spanning every decade of the GAA, over 70 captains of All-Ireland winning teams are featured in Brendan Fullam’s latest hurling tribute. From Jim Stapleton, who captained the 1887 champions, to Tommy Dunne, of 2001 fame, each captain led their team to a glorious victory and the MacCarthy Cup.

Magic names from distant times, among them Mikey Maher, Lory Meagher and Christy Ring, are side-to-side with recent stars including Tomás Mulcahy, Anthony Daly, Angela Downey, Willie O’Connor and Mick Landers. Epic matches, amazing battles and deeds of outstanding bravery are all dealt with in this engrossing and entertaining book.
