Synopsis
Why was a Tipperary goalkeeper disguised as a priest to ensure his safety after a Munster final? What was the most controversial refereeing decision in the game’s history? And which team can lay claim to being the greatest exponents of what’s arguably the world’s fastest and most skillful team sport? The answers to these questions and many more will be found in Hell for Leather: A Journey Through Hurling in 100 Games. Beginning in 1888 and concluding with the standout game from this year’s championship, the book will use the template of documenting great clashes to demonstrate how hurling evolved from near extinction to attracting a fanatical following in its heartlands and beyond. This is an evocative and compelling chronicle of "the greatest game on the planet."

Review
If the past is to be mined for today's entertainment, then Ronnie Bellew and Dermot Crowe, the authors of Hell for Leather, have come up with a perfect show * Irish Examiner * The book is trying to give a broad flavour of how hurling has evolved through the years. In that it gloriously succeeds. Never has the history of the game been more accessible or fun * Irish Examiner *
