ODD MAN OUT
Due to a typographical error the name of Mick Leahy was not included last week in the list of the Tullogher team who won the Kilkenny Junior Hurling Final in 1957. Due to injury the former Clare and Munster corner back was unable to take part and watched the final on crutches even though he had played a prominent role in the earlier stages of the championship. Mick was the then Principal of Listerlin Technical School hence his eligibility to play for Tullogher.
