Ah, he was handy enough alright. All those were mostly U13 at the time but only one made the Tony Forristal team that year. Surprisingly that was Martin Byrne of Doon as sub-goalie. Didnât hear anything about him after that, wherever he went.

Those chairs were still in the dance hall up until recent refurbishments 
Mark Ryan was a sensation back then.

Surprised Barry OâConnell isnât there.
He was something else back in those days
Heâd be 2 classss younger than that lot. Doubt youâd be put forward in Mungret for trials in 4th class.
Iâm fairly sure mark Ryan played 3 years on the trot but that would be rare. Fair few played two years alright.

Just back from Croke Park after seeing the reigning All-Ireland & 3-in-a-row Munster champions advance to another decider.
Nothing against Waterford but that was just business. We all love Waterford and Ozzie but doing it against the likes of Galway and Tipp is one thing but today was another level up again. When Del Boy Derek (one league title, no Munster title, no All-Ireland title) was shooting his mouth off about scoring four goals I knew we were in business.
Iâve always rated Cahill & Beeeeeeeeevans but looking at the way they set up today they ainât the saviours of Tipp hurling which the likes of Vincent Hogan like to perpetuate. Give it Sheedy for another three years, therefore.
Grand day out. To be fair there was no prick acting from the stewards so once you werenât encroaching into other peopleâs personal space you werenât badgered about masks. A decent atmosphere, even with the limited crowd.
First back to back finals since 73/74. What a group of players. We will not see their like again. As big Seamie Flanagan said in the winter of 2018 âwe donât want to be remembered like Clare in 2013, a team who did fuck all before and since.â Or something along those lines anyway.
Let the great ticket hunt commence. If itâs Cork itâll be a complete bloodbath. Going to enjoy watching them tear lumps out of each other tomorrow.
Casey will be a loss for the final, he has been super this year so far. Mul will be in as a replacement but he has no form this year going into it. Quaid and Hannon remain two of the most under-rated players the game has ever seen. Lynch is just, well, gifted.
Roll on two weeks time.

And we all know what happened ye in â74.
âYeâ ??
Youâre one of our own now, kid.
Not a hope of me ever changing. Especially not now.
Itâs a pity about Casey. There was little intent and one of the angles shows little if any contact. Theyâll hardly appeal it as Limerick donât need the distraction.
Big games today required from our two wing backs and two corner forwards. We need to up our game there to have any hope of facing and giving the champions a game. I wonder will Carey start? Wrong thread I suppose.
