Two decades on from the Banner’s last Munster SHC success and the All-Ireland title that got away, the trio recall that tumultuous summer of ’98, from Lynch’s ban to Jimmy Cooney’s bad time-keeping The one that got away from Banner brothers John Fogarty: Twenty years on, how ship.

It gives me great pleasure to extend a warm welcome to you here to Semple Stadium Thurles on this most significant occasion and a match that forms part of the landmark that is the start of the 2020 inter-county GAA Championships, and also draws down the curtain on the Allianz Hurling Leagues. It is fair to say that there have been several moments when it looked as if we would not be here in this position. In many ways the world we knew and took for granted last March seems a lot longer than seven months ago. So much has been lost, and more important than the freedoms and privileges we so badly miss are the lost lives of the more than 2,500 Irish people all over the island who passed away at the hands of the coronavirus and left a void in the lives of the loved ones who mourn them. As we return to inter-county action the perils of the world we find ourselves in still exist.

  • 'Ducksy' Walsh Reaped a Golden Harvest by Lorcan O'rourke The
    ‘Ducksy’ Walsh Reaped a Golden Harvest By Lorcan O'Rourke The sad news we were expecting during the first week of August, but hoped would never come, eventually came when 'Ducksy’ went to his eternal reward on Thursday 4 August. His passing is a tremendous loss, firstly to his wife, Sheena, their children, Dylan, Megan and Niamh, and his siblings, to Irish handball, the international handball fraternity, his friends, neighbours and the GAA in general, especially in Kilkenny where he was so highly regarded, honoured and respected. His achievements on the handball court will never be equalled. He amassed an amazing 108 All-Ireland titles, four World titles, a Texaco Award and innumerable National and Provincial medals as well as a host of tournament trophies. And he deserved every accolade, title, medal and honour which came his way. He earned them all and worked so hard to achieve the ultimate in perfection to reach the top of the sport. He was a genius, an artist, a complete master of his craft who gave of his best, who wanted to be the best and who achieved that. His astonishing cache of 38 All-Ireland senior medals is equalled by the combined total of All-Ireland senior hurling medals won on the field of play in Croke Park by Henry Shefflin (10), J J Delaney (8), Jackie Tyrrell (7), Tommy Walsh (7), and Noel Skehan (6). What an amazing feat between 1985 and 2001! We can name any number of well-known sportspersons – for example, Jack O’Shea, Henry Shefflin, Angela Downey, Brian O’Driscoll, Sonia O’Sullivan, Roy Keane, Bernard Dunne, Pádraig Harrington –and ‘Ducksy’ was their equal in his own sport: he was meticulous in preparation for every match, respected every opponent, had fierce determination to win and always did everything necessary to make it happen.
