REGARDED as one of the greatest hurlers to never win an All-Ireland medal, Jimmy Smyth is the subject of a new book by Ennis historian Ollie Byrnes.
A collection of articles on military history, residents, sport, maps and photographs with the Ennis Barracks have been included in a recently published book.
Ollie Byrnes has effectively chronicled the story of Clare hurling, his latest project is the fruits of a project started and completed during a national lockdown.
