watercolour 20cmx29.5 The game is on, first half played, and teams exchanging lead and loss, as the tempo rises and wanes, ebbs and flows. You can see the new boys, unused to the ferocity of pace, the sheer physical force of exchanges, the depths to which the players reach within themselves. The old reliables see this. They remember their first championship encounter, when they too were wondering how in hell they were going to last the pace. So they watch for the new ones, the younger ones who have the legs and the speed and the power, but just need adjusting. So they cover, they roam the field and guard the young ones as they in turn adapt and feel their way into senior champioship hurling. And within the space of a game, two hard , fast and full games, the younger ones emerge, rediscover the talents and will that got them the jersey chance in the first place. And so it goes, year in year out, the evolution of the team , the county, the people and their tradition.
