Eddie Brennan was one of the quickest men on the hurling field when he was in action for Kilkenny.
‘Fast Eddie’ was a hero to the Stripey Men for many years, with his uncanny knack for bagging a goal or splitting a defence with a searing run.
And it seems that his talents with a hurl also extend to his quick fingers, as he took a golden opportunity to troll Tipperary last night when a tweet landed on his lap, and he just could not resist.
It seems that the Kilkenny hurlers will now have a dog running in their honour locally, to raise what we assume are funds for the county team throughout 2016.
John Mackey, of the Kilkenny supporters club, tweeted a picture of the animal online last night, and was wondering if some fans could suggest a name for the canine.
Looking for a name for this 7month old beaut!? Now the property of the Kilkenny Senior Hurlers. pic.twitter.com/MpEz8WYpQu

A man, whom we can only think is a Tipperary fan, rose to the bait by suggesting the moniker of “LarStopped5” in reference to the All-Ireland success of 2010 for the Premier County over their near neighbours.
But that little jibe was responded to very very quickly by the Graige-Ballycallan forward whom had the perfect response.
