Any team can lose, get knocked down, or come out the wrong side in an important game, but what makes true champions and heroes, is not what you do when you get knocked down; but that you keep getting back up.

#TheToughest AIB Leinster Club Final - Oulart The Ballagh

Club , Hurling and Wexford GAA | Tue Dec 15 09:00:00 GMT 2015

Any team can lose, get knocked down, or come out the wrong side in an important game, but what makes true champions and heroes, is not what you do when you get knocked down; but that you keep getting back up.

Oulart the Ballagh entered the 2015 Leinster Hurling Club Final having never reached the holy grail of a Leinster Final victory.

 

Six losses. Six heart-breaking defeats. Six winters of discontent and disgust. This team never gave up hope and in 2015 they promised they would finally get over the line and bring the trophy back to Wexford. 

 

This is their story.
