Out of Our Skins

Liam Hayes has been a senior county footballer for ten years. In 1991, he led Meath in their heroic series of encounters with Dublin in the Leinster Championship before eventually succumbing to Down in the All-Ireland football final. This book is an account of Liam Hayes' years as a Meath player, including an account of his roots in the parish of Skyrne, where he grew up and learned to play football, and of the gradual development of the Meath team into the formidable combination which won two All-Irelands, in 1987 and 1988, and which remains one of the most powerful forces in Gaelic football today.
