Tony Wall wrote a great book on the skills of hurling back in the sixties and a lot of those skills are still relevent today. I can't remember the name of it but I'm sure there's a copy floating about my Da's house somewhere, most hoke it out for a refresher.

[Pull Hard Hes No Relation]

I've a copy of Tony Wall's book myself, it is stiil a great book for coaching the basic skills even if it is about 30-40 years old now. Like yourself Johhnycool inherited mine from the old boy.

[youngfella]

would any of you gents be willing to sell a copy of the book?

Can't youngfella. It isn't mine and me Da would kill me.

[youngfella]

aww, you could add the money to the Christmas fund and get him a lock of pints? If your unsure ill ask Pull Hard Hes No Relation, would he be willing to part will his.

cheers mate

Young fella, like Johnny Cool would eb reluctant to part with my copy. The Kilkenny County Board had a great handbook developed a couple of years ago by their hurling officer which was given to all their club coaches I think. I got a copy off a guy in Kilkenny, I'm sure if you contacted the Kilkenny county board they would be able to get you a copy. Deals with basic skills, full of great drills and also highlights basic dietary information along with physical fitness etc.

cheers Pull, I'll drop them a line. what do call that book and who is it by? I shall have to keep my eyes peeled! would you part with it for £20 just out of interest?

Has anyone bought this DVD? What's it like??

[Last Man]

Bought it on Saturday, only watched the first 20 mins so far but IMO its a fairly slick production. Shane is very good as usual on the presentation and Ronan,DD and Graham give a great demonstration of keeper skills. The drills all make sense and a lot of them would apply to all players. In all the teams I've played on I've never seen our goalies do specialised training like this and when I think how ordinary they were, it figures. A must buy for aspiring young keepers and all hurling coaches.
