Ireland's Professional Amateurs: A Sports Season At Its Purest [Andy Mendlowitz] on www.farmersmarketmusic.com *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. When American. Editorial Reviews. About the Author. Andy Mendlowitz wrote for the Daily News- Record in Ireland's Professional Amateurs: A Sports Season at Its Purest by.

Andy tells a story of the pride and joy of the fans in watching the distinctively special Irish sports and how it transcends the sports playing field to the pride in their local county and their Gaelic background. The players are all amateurs practicing hard and heavy after work so they could win the Sunday game for their county. And then they are back at work on Monday at their jobs as teachers, accountants, lawyers, civil servants and factory workers.

No time to recover from their injuries which seem more plentiful than they should be for an amateur sport, to back to their planning and practices for the next weekend's game. The book is written in a fast paced journalistic style that grabs your attention from the first page to the last. It draws out individual stories of many players and the pride and sacrifices they make to play the game.
