The grit and glory of the Wild Geese hurling story
By John Harrington
Aidan Lenehan has penned two books on the hurling story of Wild Geese GAA club in Dublin since 2008, a notable achievement considering the club had no hurling prior to 2008.
His first book, ‘There is an F in Hurling’, recounts how he and fellow enthusiasts introduced hurling to the Oldtown club 17 years ago, making for an entertaining underdog story.
His second book, ‘Grit and Glory – A Decade at the Club’, co-written with his brother Fergal, is another engaging read that demonstrates hurling can thrive with sufficient care and attention.
Aidan Lenehan's books prove that hurling can blossom in previously unlikely settings.
Aidan Lenehan's work is a fair achievement, showcasing the growth of hurling in Wild Geese GAA club.
