Inter Pro was my guess but surely crowds too poor for that even back then.

Anyone else think the bald head was the sliothar for a brief second?

If there was a crowd there you’d still have an empty Nally stand. Plus both Hogan and Cusack would been open

Sylvie playing for Galway in Croker.

Opponents could be Waterford or Galway. Hard to know what game it could have been. A league play-off?

Fucking Kildare :joy:

You’re not even joking, that actually happened. :astonished:

Attendance was 3,668.

Not a bad idea, do away with the fucking round robin in Leinster, fuck em all down Christy Ring and whoever wins that can come in at the end of the qualifiers.

I assumed that was the point of it (baldy head/sliothar).
The baldy lad has a look of Cyril Farrell too.

And we thought snowflakes were a recent invention

Hard to say for sure but the backdrop reminds me more of the Pairc in Cork, looking back towards what would have been the uncovered stand in the more recent version and over towards Tivoli?

I think @Fagan_ODowd knows when and where he was when holding the umbrella, mate.
