Last nights episode of TG4’s documentary “Laochra Gael” focused on two- time All Star winner and Kilkenny Hurling Legend Eoin Larkin.
In the special, the All Ireland winning Captain delved into his glittering intercounty career, life with the defence forces while also opening up about his battles with mental health.

Online fans of the show were full of praise for the candid nature in which the new Ballinkillen manager spoke
@Laochra_Gael Not a regular watcher but joined my avid watching husband tonight and so moved by Eoin Larkin’s honesty in relation to #mentalhealth and specifically men’s mental health. Well Done 👏👏

Fair play to Eoin Larkin; really enjoyed that Laochra Gael and good they touched on some serious issues. Thought he came across very well. Some career he had.

Possibly the best Laochra Gael yet. Eoin Larkin was some hurler. What a man!

The show was so good even Tip fans enjoyed it!
Great to see @Laochra_Gael back tonight on @TG4TV – despite him being the scourge of Tipp hurling in numerous AI finals kudos to Eoin Larkin a warrior on the pitch
