The grit and glory of the Wild Geese hurling story

By John Harrington

Aidan Lenehan has penned two books on the hurling story of Wild Geese GAA club in Dublin since 2008, a notable achievement given the club had no hurling prior to 2008.

His first book, ‘There is an F in Hurling’, recounts how he and fellow enthusiasts introduced hurling to the Oldtown club 17 years ago, making for an entertaining underdog story.

His second book, 'Grit and Glory – A Decade at the Club', co-written with his brother Fergal, is another engaging read that showcases the potential for hurling to thrive in new environments with dedication and care.

Aidan Lenehan's books prove that with enough care and attention, hurling can really blossom in previously unlikely places.

Aidan Lenehan's work is a testament to the growth of hurling in the Wild Geese GAA club.
