Urlers from the ‘90s
team mates with his exhilarating runs and scores. A most unselfish hurler, who played for the team, and not himself
DJ Carey, Kilkenny
I would be happy to pay double to see DJ playing again, a player with sublime skill, searing pace, vision and courage.
There are no superlatives worthy enough to describe his hurling.
Johnny Dooley, Offaly
Johnny was strong in the tackle, had great mobility, and his goal scoring ability carried Offaly through on many tricky games.
Tomás Mulcahy, Cork
A player who perfected the true art of hurling in his youth, watched over by the great Christy Ring.
Tomás’s mobility was deceptively quick, and he was renowned for his solo runs and scoring records.
Gary Kirby, Limerick
Gary was one of the game’s most prolific scorers during a long career in the green jersey of Limerick. A player with tremendous guile and power.
John Leahy, Tipperary
John won two All-Ireland medals with the Premier County in ’89 and ’91. A hard man to knock off the ball once he gained possession, he was forceful and a menace to defenders.
Liam Fennelly, Kilkenny
Liam was a tough as nails, but with plenty of flair as well. He had good ball control, class stickwork and a never-say-die attitude.
Charlie Carter, Kilkenny Charlie had a glittering thirteen-year career with the Black and Amber, with wonderful close control and unlimited hurling skills. He could do anything with the ball, and his scoring feats were a delight to watch.
Tom Dempsey, Wexford
A great-hearted hurler, and the essence of reliability, Tom had this innate ability to always be in the right position to notch up vital scores.
