Let's make this birthday one to remember.

49 years old (Born on September 04, 1975)

Happy Birthday, Rory! From dominating the half-back line at St. Martin's (1994-2008) to mastering chalkboards and classrooms today, you've always known how to keep opponents—and students—on their toes. Rumor has it your teaching defense is just as solid as your hurling skills; no student dares pass notes when you're guarding the classroom!

Though you traded in sliotars for textbooks, we still fondly recall those epic clearances and fearless tackles that made every match memorable. May this birthday bring laughter louder than a packed stadium cheering one of your legendary blocks.

Here's wishing our favorite hurler-teacher another year filled with joy!
