Brendan Cummins has retired. Fcuksake this has ruined by night now going to see andy irvine.
Brilliant hurler and a decent footballer also, played both for his county and won many a Poc Fada. Had the pleasure of playing against him during the Sevens at St Judes, during the game I dislocated my shoulder was in agony but managed to get it back in. They beat us by a few points and went on to win it i think. We, well Karl Stewart scored a goal past him, was the highlight of our weekend ;D
What a man
Didn't he take the frees for the footballers?
He was pretty good at them if I recall right.
Who the hell is Andy Irvine?
He used to drive race cars.
handy

20 years hurling for Tipp. Some career.
I thought he'd have played till he was 50.
Was it a Liverpool jersey he always wore under the Tipp one ?
It was a Manchester United jersey he wore under the Tipp one.

I love the way this irrelevant piece of information was put in.. I though you were going to say Cummins put it back in for you.

I have a dodgy hip nothing to do with Brendan Cummings but I felt like this was the thread for it.

I once got to walk past him in the tunnel at Semple, I'm a great fella too.
Great keeper with 2 AI's in a time Kilkenny dominated isn't too bad.
He is the last of a great era of hurling goalkeepers.
Cummins, Fitzhenry & Davy Fitz.
10 All-stars between then , 5 for Cummins tells a tale.
Donal Óg with 2 All-Stars was arguably a more influential player sometimes, but for pure hurling goalkeeping (i.e. shot-stopping and lunacy) those 3 were the best of the last 20 years.

I think he was hinting at - had he not dislocated his shoulder, Cummins' team would not have beaten them and gone on to win it....
Exactly, no in fairness it was in a tackle with Cummins and their fullback!! Couldn't get in back in place till after the match.

Nah, that's Eddie Irvine.
The only Andy Irvine I know about is a Scottish rugby player from the 70s. He was one hell of a fine player but unless Tickles chooses to enlighten us further, I can't see any sort of connect between this Irvine and Cummins.

I was going out last night to listen to the musician Andy Irvine and this put me in bad news.
Come on lads keep up.

All Stars aside, as they can become play things of the media darlings, Damian Fitzhenry was the best keeper of that era, superb reflexes and brave as a lion, Wexford were on the wane for most of that period after 1996. Fitzhenry was their saviour more than once.
