He also won 3 senior medals himself in 1932, 1933, and 1935. In this interview for the Black and Amber DVD he talks about his life and times in the Kilkenny jersey. Was there much hurling around Tullaroan when you were growing up? In every parish there was a recognised hurling field. You had men hurling in one part of it and boys in the other and boys at school would use that field at lunch time as well. There was a field belonging to my father - God be good to him - on the old homeland. That field was always recognised as the hurling field. All the hurlers used to go there especially in the summer evenings. On Sunday evenings there could be 40 men there and teenagers. Then in another part of it you had all the youngsters and they were hurling away and then up in the other corner you had the handball alley. Where did the idea for a handball the floor and side walls. Where a rural area was Kilkenny’s first win in an All Ireland alley come from? concerned it was fairly good you know.
