HURLING A GAME FOR THE AGES

We live in adversarial age but Garda Patrick Collins stands up to a Limerick attack. Sport is a welcome distraction.......

BORROWED FROM LINKEDIN...........

I'd like to divert your attention to Patrick Collins, the Cork senior hurling team goalkeeper running to block this shot from Limerick's Aaron Gillane during yesterday's All-Ireland Semi Final. If anyone, has ever got hit with a sliotar in any part of the body will know how sore that is going to be!

Just to clarify:

▪ Yes, that ball is travelling around 105mph

▪ Yes, it's just the middle of the first half

▪ Yes, this is an amateur sport
