		<description>That's sheer joy to listen to.

Being Irish, I remember that 1995 final and what it all meant to the people of Clare. Worth mentioning, for those not familiar with the sport, hurling is an amateur sport and the documentary illustrates beautifully the sheer intensity of pride between the fans, players, coaching and management team.  

A sense of pride that appears lost in the dressing rooms of other team sports, in particular premiership football and rugby union where all the talk is usually about multimillion transfer deals rather than Wordsworth or how an old traditional song helped inspire a team to new levels.

It's not only a sublime piece of radio production, it's also perhaps a reminder of what sport is really all about.</description>
