John Torpey, founder of Torpey Hurleys has passed away Sunday at 85. The man himself mightn't be known that much nationwide but I thought it is quite impressive how he has built up the company into the size that it is now. It is possibly the most recognisable brand of a hurley throughout Ireland (through strong marketing and innovation too yes).

Started the company in 1981 and gone from strength to strength since

Just thought be nice to give him some recognition here

Taken today in Senior Championship. Éire Óg win 2-20 to 1-21 Vs Scariff.

They were made work hard for it though. A Scariff team without Mark Rodgers, who is injured through a broken hand. Éire Óg showed their county champions material

Quite a heavy bias to the Final, as usual

Limerick - 10

Galway - 3

Clare - 1

Cork - 1

HOTY

Gearóid Hegarty

Lissycasey v kikrush under 15 lads. Ref attacked. The whole club should get a two year ban.

Fair play to Tommy standing his ground on the question too

Will put details in comment below from twitter

Be great if lots turned up for this
