Eoghan Ruadh Dungannon with Damian Casey

10/02/20 • 61 min

We visit Tyrone this week and speak to Damian Casey from Eoghan Ruadh Hurling Club in Dungannon. Damian gives us a good insight into the club and hurling in general in Tyrone. It's interesting to hear about the work being done at underage by Eoghan Ruadh and also interesting to hear about the decision of their seniors to play in the Antrim leagues, which can involve plenty of long journeys to games. Damian also represents Tyrone seniors and he speaks about his long commutes over and back from the UK to make training and matches for both club and county. Also included in the episode is Damian's all time Eoghan Ruadh 7 a side team.
