I don’t do snackboxes. And I hate coleslaw.

Funnily enough I’ve already been locked in a fierce debate of Croagh’s westness on WhatsApp

To be real west Limerick you have to tick all of the following boxes.

• been served in Coolio’s when you were 16/17
• the Weekly Observer is a staple in your house.
• every family holiday was to Kerry, usually Ballybunion. Stopping off in Jumbos in Listowel on the way back from said holiday also compulsory.
• placing the fabled junior A hurling championship above all else.
• you either love or hate the FF Collins clan.
• Jim Long reffed your GAA matches when you were a young fella.

@dodgy_keeper

you either love or hate the FF Collins clan.

And you vote for them regardless.

You’ve had a stuffing chip

Ironically enough you’re close with that post. The west of the county is defined by the Norman Fitzgerald’s Desmond influence, i.e. Desmond Castles in Newcastlewest and Adare. With their HQ at Shanid Castle in Shanagolden. They even called the local soccer league The Desmond League to make it easier for you

Askeaton Castle bates all those castles and was the Desmonds main base in the area for many years.

Forgot that one, my bad. The stories out of the Hellfire Club beside it are even more interesting than the castle.

A huge factor is what constitutes “town”

If it is NCW then you are a bona fide Westie

[Breaking_my_balls]

You know what “The L&N” was, even though it’s gone with 30 years

[Breaking_my_balls]

Seanie Hartnett has reffed both a GAA game and a Soccer game you’ve played in on the same day

Sunday dinner in the Devon Inn.

Anywhere a team plays soccer in the Desmond league is whest limerick. Under the kingdom of Desmond
