Laochra Gael - Back, and to the left hand on top

They nearly folded a few years back, if I recall correctly. There’s Rosslare Harbour and Rosslare Strand, along with a few town land / smaller village type places in the catchment area like Tagoat and Kilrane. The pitch was in the harbour but they sold it and built new grounds on the side of the main road somewhere between Tagoat, Kilrane and the harbour. They kinda lost their focal point and kids from harbour housing estates that deviated towards the club weren’t arsed cycling up the main road for a few miles to train/play. They struggled to field in a few grades etc. I think the likes of Griffin made renewed efforts to get the organisation sorted behind the scenes.

Rathnure were semi christened Rossnure for many years while the Guineys togged out for them. The 2 lads were the difference in at least 1 if not 2 county finals from memory

Jaysus Dunne got fierce emotional about Tommy Kehoe gettin bullied below in Kilmallock

'Twas his conscience bothering him really.

He did, what in the name of god did they do to him?

We used sarcasm

few good footballers;

David Murphy the stand out, 2 Rossiters decent too.

was John Meyler from in and around Rosslare?

Thought it was much further down ? Think the father had a pub in the place

Tacumshane.

Next parish.

What a cracking name for a village.

Remember as a kid having to do the pilgrimage of Our lady’s island few times

Our Lady’s Island which is down that direction

It’s like the name of some outpost in New Mexico in a Clint Eastwood spaghetti western

One of the best ones I’ve watched. She was a serious operator and as good an example as you’ll find of the power of a strong will.

I see Michael Daragh McAuley will be on the new series of this.

That’ll drive a few lads absolutely demented.

Kieran Fitzgerald should be interesting. Won an All-Ireland in what I presume was his debut season with Galway. Long barren spell before more All-Ireland success with Corofin in the twilight of his career. Never heard of that Derry player before. Tohill and Brolly usually garner the attention from that team.
