One game at a time

I know we couldnāt play at home when we got to Munster Intermediate a few years ago, the choice was Kilmallock or Gaelic Grounds.

What was it?
Ballygunner would have to be heavy favourites. The Well are good but Ballygunner would have a much stronger all-round team, you would think.
Although theyāre going to have a fairly significant layoff before their first-round game.
Cant see Limerick clubs doing much in Munster,? Did The Well ever win a Munster club?
They got to an AI final one year when Ciaran was only a young fella.

Iām fairly sure it just has to be a covered stand. Seats arenāt a prerequisite.
Car parking, media facilities, toilets and dressing rooms are all taken into account too.

Lost the semi-final above in Antrim in 88. To OāDonovan Rossa, if I recall correctly.
Did they get to the final two years later? Almost certain I remember them being up in Croke Park for a game they lost, Carey was only 16/17/18 at the time. It was on his Laochra Gael, Iām almost certain.

They lost the 91 final to Glenmore in Croke Park, but Ciaran would have been a little older than that at that stage.
Ballybrown were beaten by Ballyhale at the same stage the year before.

Kilmallock got to the club final in 1993 v Sarsfield and were beat .
They had a great chance to beat Birr inn1995 semi in thurles
Yep. I remember being at that 87 final. Great atmosphere in Kilmallock as the Mackey was under construction in the GG. Super game too - The Well edged their fellow parishioners by 1-17 to 3-10.
Fuck me, I can remember that and can hardly recall what I did yesterdayā¦

Ya - the Well met Ballybrown in 1983 final too.
Was that day v Glenmore the day Tony OāBrien dropped dead?
Couldnāt say for certain but it would have been around that time alright.
Iāve a feeling that Tony died n Limerick, though. Could be wrong.
Ciaran won a county in goal for the Well in 1987. It was the year it was played in Kilmallock because the Gaelic Grounds was being done up. He was 16 or 17.
