It’s 80 years since Glen Rovers amazing hurling eight in a row

The 1941 Glen Rovers' eight-in-a-row county winning team.
The Glen now began to train often at their pitch in Kilbarry. This was a field the club obtained the use of when they went senior in 1926 and they remained there until 1952. Prior to the final, the Glen swept all before them and qualified for the semi-final, where they defeated Seandún at the Mardyke.

In the following seven finals, the Glen defeated Carrigtwohill, Sarsfield’s, Carrigtwohill, Midleton, Blackrock, Sarsfield’s, and Ballincollig.

On the Glen 1941 team was Christy Ring, the greatest hurler of all time. The famous Glen squad included Din Joe Buckley, who won five All-Irelands with Cork.
