    Directed by Louis Marcus for Gael Linn in 1964, this short film celebrates the never- equalled skills of legendary Cork Hurler Christy Ring, regarded to this day as the best hurler of all time. The film features sequences from the 1954 All-Ireland Final, when Christy made history by winning his eighth All-Ireland medal and the 1960 National League Final between Cork and Tipperary. It includes instructional sequences where Christy gives detailed coaching tips to young viewers accompanied by the rousing soundtrack of music from the Artane Boys Band.
