The second programme of ten features Waterford’s own Ken McGrath.

Ken McGrath was at the heart of the Waterford team that lit up the world of hurling during the late 1990’s and 2000’s. Skilful, stylish and teak tough the Mount Sion clubman was adept at playing at centre back, midfield or centre forward for the Déise, winning 3 all stars in the process. Honest and frank, he recalls the crushing All Ireland Final defeat of 2008 at the hands of Kilkenny, the titanic 2004 Munster Final clash with Cork which is regarded by many as the greatest hurling match of all time as well as the wonderful support he received following heart surgery in 2014. Contributions also from; Dan Shanahan, Donal O’Grady, Seán Óg Ó hAilpín and Brendan Cummins.
