Winner

Mary Devlin's fantastic photo of three generations of Burt hurlers was a firm favourite in our readers' poll.

Mary says:  “I was delighted to be the winner. I entered the competition last minute but I always loved this photo that my mum gave me many years ago. 

“She sadly passed away in December and I thought it would be a fitting tribute to her to give the photo a wider audience.

“Mum was very loyal to her siblings and was proud of her Whoriskey heritage. I wasn't even thinking what the winner's prize was, all I ever wanted was for the photo to get the recognition it deserves. It's such a  natural photo and they all look so happy! My family are delighted I came out the winner, as were the wider Whoriskey clan whom I'm proud to be part of.”
