Surely the first time the phrase ‘Like a randy lover’ has been used in a hurling match report.
As a sport that can be hot, heavy and full of passion, hurling lends itself to analogies of a romantic nature, analogies that have rarely been used as effortlessly as in the Wicklow People recently.
Possibly aware of the fact that local readers might not want to dwell too much on a game in which Wicklow were heavily beaten by Meath in the Christy Ring Cup, Brendan Lawrence’s report took a turn for the steamy as early as the third paragraph.
Huge kudos to Brendan for managing to fit hurling legend Martin Storey and James Bond into the same paragraph, no doubt causing much blushing amongst some of the Wicklow People’s female readership.
The report actually appeared in last week’s Wicklow People but was only brought to our attention by JOE reader Lyndsay Magee overnight.
Safe to say if hurling ever appeared in a Joan Collins novel, it would sound a little bit like this.
Cheers to Lyndsay Magee for sending this our way. Got a story for JOE? Hit us up on Facebook or Twitter, send it to our WhatsApp number 087-4001102 or mail editorial@JOE.ie.
