Id love a few pints with Henry more than nearly anyone else alive **

** Normal crew and present company excepted

***Provided it took the form of a full disclosure interrogation

Bellew the chairman is an impressive enough speaker but i wonder is he a bit too polished and corporatey for the plain raw people of South Easht Galway? Cc @Diabhal

He’s come across well in any dealings I’ve heard him having with clubs in either code. That’s not to say the blade won’t be lowered at a later date by some cunts from Kilbeacanty.

I’m listening to Cyril here on the Maroon and White.

Its one of lifes simple pleasures to listen to the great man talking Hurling…

‘Henry is the King, but he’s not God’ is a great line.

Me and a mate have been on about heading out to Woodford someday specifically with the hope of bumping into Cyril in one of the two publican houses so we can listen to decades of aul yarns.

That’s a very impressive interview in fairness to Henry. Seemed to genuinely be invested in Galway and didn’t make the decision lightly.

You’d find him quicker in O Gradys than anywhere. But if you’ve never been to Woodford go for the ‘experience’

Roosters is his latest haunt, O’Gradys is closed these days.

I’ve never been to South Easht Galway but my perception of it is like what you’d see in the Westerns on TG4 of a Friday night.

I used to deliver to Woodford weekly back in the 2000s; a bit of a one horse town alright but I’d say there would be a grand relaxed way of going about things there

3572

From there on is pure Deliverance country, Derrybrien etc all the way to the Clare border, gets worse then.
