Tipperary hurling captain Brendan Maher has revealed how professional cricketers in Australia were shocked to learn alcohol bans are regularly placed on GAA players.

No beer! Aussies can’t believe dedication of GAA stars like Brendan Maher
 
“I said, ‘there’s no way we’d do this in the GAA. If you even had a beer two or three months before a game you’d nearly be lambasted for it’.

“They were like, ‘what?!’ They were saying, ‘would you really not take a drink after games?’ I said, ‘only after Championship games maybe or something like that’. I was telling them that’s the norm back home and they couldn’t believe the dedication that’s given and how much we train. I was going through my typical week and they were saying, ‘you train that much!’”
