Billy Phelan interview - the man who has published the history of Abbeyleix GAA

from LaoisToday · host LaoisToday

In this special episode of the Talking Sport podcast, we interview Billy Phelan, the Abbeyleix man who has recently published a very impressive history of the local GAA club. Ahead of Sunday's Laois senior hurling final, he chats about how the club fell on hard times after being dominant in the 1940s, playing in two senior semi-finals himself, the story behind the name St Lasarien's and why Abbeyleix supporters shout 'Cmon on the Fung'.
