Kilmacud Crokes are all things to all men – and women. They are either your quintessential ‘southside superclub’ (with all the disparaging connotations that stereotype conveys) or a tight-knit family of high achievers.
They are either the reigning county champions who still couldn’t resist dangling the carrot of more medals in front of Galway magician Shane Walsh. Or they are something very different: round-ball evangelists in Rugby Country.
