NOT JUST THE TALE BUT THE TELLING

A tip of the hat to Diarmuid O'Flynn, who has brought his many writings about Newtownshandrum in the Irish Examiner over the past number of years to an innovative yet logical conclusion in the form of a book.

Published by Collins Press at 14.95, Club, Sweat and Tears tells us not only about the feats of the 2004 All Ireland club hurling champions but about who they are and the background from which they hail.

Therefore, though naturally the O'Connor and Mulcahy brothers feature prominently, the national school principal and the parish priest also figure, as do the neighbours in Dromina, the other half of the parish, and the other crowd in Ballyhea, the next . . . and O'Flynn's . . . parish.

An unusual book by, let's face it, an unusual author, and all the better for it.
