Munster Senior Cup
The winners of each of the provinces went no further.
Well they did for a period. The Bateman cup. Ypu may have heard of it. Young Munsters won it and made a song out of it.

I played with a junior club in cark against the saints down pa healy field. The carkies were shocked at the amount of sulkys riding up and down the road in the warm up. I had a good laugh using the Limerick scumbag taunts thrown at me for years. One of the Mary’s lads lost it and said who are you to say Limerick scumbag I replied in the thickest Limerick accent sure I’m from x part of Limerick kid. Round of laughter from the guys who knew

I went to what must have been a munster senior Cup final in thomond Park at some stage in the early 90s. Shannon v Young Munsters, place was wedged. The father put me over the wall to sit on the pitch. Seemed to be a huge occasion.
The only one that counts was the one Munsters beat the 14 internationals that Landsdowne fielded against them.

Could be wrong thought he was a teacher. A good few of that kerry team taught in cbs
I’d love to have seen Paidi teach 
I believe I have made a terrible mistake on the Internet. I’m too young to remember or know these guys outside the classic games on the telly and auld lads talking shite into the bottom of a pint of stout

The only Kerry lad that kicked a football that taught in CBS wad Eamonn Dillon. I doubt if Sammy Sayers ever kicked a football. He certainly hardly ever ran after one.
He wasn’t good at school.
So he became a guard.
