New Hurling Mag - Hurling World

Suppose its like anything, if its supported it could give us hurling folk great information on whats happening in hurling circles and if not it will fold.  Talking to Frank he is open to ideas and suggestions on what to include and what interests people.  Drop him a line.



PRESS RELEASE
Launch of Hurling World – a new magazine dedicated exclusively to hurling and camogie
Who will win this years All-Ireland final? Does the provincial hurling championships have a future? And what is GAA President Nickey Brennan's vision for hurling.
The answers to these questions and much more can be found in Hurling World, a new monthly magazine dedicated exclusively to the national game. Issue One is being launched on September 1 and will feature in-depth coverage and analysis of this year's All-Ireland final from some of the country's top hurling writers.
Ronnie Bellew look at to this year's final, while we go behind the scenes of RTE's All-Ireland final day coverage, and look back at some of the greatest ever All-Ireland hurling final speeches.
Hurling World's launch issue also features a major interview with GAA President Nickey Brennan, an analysis of the ongoing debate about the hurling championship structures, and we step back in time with the men who made history when they were named as hurling's first All-Stars in 1971.
Kilkenny's John Power, Cork's Tom Kenny, Galway's Ollie Canning, Liam Horan and Waterford's John Mullane have joined the Hurling World Panel.


Coaching and fitness issues are covered in our Players Zone section while veteran inter-county referee Dickie Murphy and the GAA's National Hurling Director Paudie Butler will be writing monthly columns on refereeing and hurling development.


Hurling World will also include extensive coverage of camogie, special club focus features, round-ups of the latest hurling news from your county, features on the classic matches and teams, and hurling news from Britain, the US, and further afield.


Hurling World is full of surprises!

think its difficult enough to market an all inclusive gaa magazine, it has been tried and failed a number of times, in ulster gaelic life are doing a good job, but a €5 solely hurling magazine imo will never last, hope im proved wrong all the same!

It will take some promotion.  Think its a great idea though and €5 is nothing for 80 pages of hurling pics and info.  I hope it goes well for Frank as he is a true gent and has hurling at heart.  I do agree it will be difficult.

It's a bg task but fair dues for trying - I think he picked theworng time of year to start - earlier in the year would have been better - in a couple of week's the big games are over.

Launching in September and at a time when advertisers are going to cut back on spending makes it tricky.
However if the magazine gets a good shelf presence and is worth reading then it can thrive.

At long last a hurling publication to rival the pish spouted by Gaelic Life, a football orientated rag. Hopefully the magazine will be available in Antrim. Good luck with the magazine.

Small point of note - isn't it Nickey Brennan?  It's great to see a hurling only magazine on the market but you would have to fear for it's longevity if the content isn't fresh each month - hopefully it will be.  Hope it's a success for all involved.
