What club are you from buh?

Mallow should be the boutique Munster Club venue.

The 2010 & 2015 Finals there were tremendous occasions.

21 consecutive years is some stint to have in charge of a Club Senior Team. Can’t imagine anyone else has come or will come close.

That’s a nice piece. Been over them ever since his oldest lad made his debut and got them great success. Still not sure it’s ideal having the same manager at a club for that length of time - they were relegated this year, his sons are pushing on in age and they have nothing coming through.

My reading of it is that they were Intermediate when the boys took over, won an Intermediate title and followed it up with an Ulster title at that grade. Subsequently won a couple of senior titles, one when Slaughtneil would have been very strong. Not a bad innings at all.

Great place to watch a game but the parking situation there can be chronic

Ah they had brilliant success, more than the club could have dreamed of. Lost an AI intermediate final in Croke Park, won a couple of county seniors and were unlucky not to make an Ulster senior final a few years back. All his sons played hurling too and were unlucky to lose an AI junior club final in Croke Park, I’m sure the Dad was involved in the management team for that as well.

They bet the shit out of us one year in the All Ireland club hurling. The day Borris bet Ballygunner. Cc: @peddlerscross

A few of us watched it on a phone eating the spuds in Celtic Park.

I think that was the day @Plastic_Paddy had an interesting encounter at a Belfast pub?

I remember Rory Gallagher being non too plussed with the Slaughtneil and Coleraine Hurlers being still involved when he took over Derry for the 2020 season.

I went to their AI semifinal that year, they played Conahy in Iniskeen. Other than the McGoldricks they had little else but fair play to them for keeping both codes going, especially considering the small pick and the success they had in football.

Had to think about this one. No it wasn’t that day. I travelled back with the team. It was the day our great Cork man was putting manners on our former Laois gurrier for insulting the nicest man in Hall Green on Facebook. Some trimming we got but a good day. 4 years ago

Whatever happened your former laois gurrier?

Advantage SCOTSTOWN. :blue_heart:

That time they played Cross in 2015 was a day-nighter too. A tremendous occasion. Beggan missed a kick to win it before Jamie Clarke ran riot in ET.

Danny O’Callaghan (now in prison for armed robbery), got a red card for clocking one of the Hughes brothers if i remember correctly.

Did Kieran Cues get a red card in that or have I confused it with one of the dozens of other games he got a red card in?

The two Hughes brothers saw red that day as they did when Glen smoked them in 2021.
