The Rock truly is a mans man
He is retiring from hurling because next year the wearing of helmets is to become compulsary
As he says he feels it should be his decision whether to wear one or not
Actually very hard to get used to helmet if u never used to wearing one
and there is nothing to spur on ure team mates than to they see ure
prepared to spill a drop of blood for the cause, have the scars myself to
prove it
U regularly see guys who wear helmets throwing them off when the battle
heats up Brian Corcoran stopped wearing a helmet towards the end of his
career.Tommy Walsh of late always seems to throw it off near the end of
games and it kinda makes a statement i mean buisness now
Well back to Diarmuid he gave many happy memories he was a good un
Always remember the day against Limerick that he grabbed the sliothar
burst out of defence knocked over a guy who tried to shoulder him and
from must be 85 meters put the ball over the bar if that wouldnt rouse u
u wouldnt have blood in ure veins
He will be missed as i think his type of player are scarce now like Brian
lohan of clare
well we have the memories
and hope he has as many memorable moments with Highfield in his new sport
Think he has 5 munster and 3 senior all ireland medals a fine collection
