Huh? Hurling in the city schools is a joke, bud. We played in the Connacht C championship for the Bish.

Good, bro. Little bit of a head on me after a flake of pints last night but I’ll head into town shortly to pick up the last gift and then it’s rancho relaxo time. Give my love to everyone in Cork.

Enda’s have the best ball alleys in Ireland on their grounds. Four proper big alleys beside each other, infinitely superior to most of these new fangled hurling walls. Any school with those kind of alleys should be cleaning up at hurling. Instead they bricked up the entrances to them.
Because they were mainly used for drinking and riding

Any place that encourages hurling, drinking and riding is a wonderful place.

What year was that pal, are you from town? If so I apologise for my townie jibes.
Collins and hanbury are townies, dean Higgins off the panel. In the last few years farragher, tony og, Aonghus callanan, john Lee, Michael Healy even tadgh haran as another panellist. They produce a few. Cashel for all their numbers and the size of the club have lost their way big time at senior, still reliant on Farragher. Eamon o Shea could actually turn city hurling around on his own the work he’s putting in there. It has the potential to be a miniature south Dublin revolution if we could get the middle classes and mayo blow ins in Salthill and knocknacarra hurling. There might be a diamond in the am, rough
As for schools a Mary’s team backboned by tony og and George Hanley drew with a strong Gort team one year iirc, must be 15 years ago now, they’ve gone to shite since and are a football school, the bish and jes are more rugby than ever thanks to brand Connacht going viral.
94 I think. Must check the back later. Salthill. Marys had a decent team at the time alright but they were the only school that took hurling seriously at the time. We had more matches than training sessions.
Hanbury is a half towny. A near enough neighbour of my new fields 
Rahoon Newcastle and salthill devon have confused the issue by relocating to the boonies.
Bish and Jes were rugby long before brand connacht tbh.

@anon7035031 and @flattythehurdler - I woke up this morning to find I’ve been tag-teamed by two old cunts. Ordinarily, I’d be quite vociferous in defending my corner, but my parents raised me to respect my elders. And any pair whose memory of “city hurlers” is limited to the Connollys have bigger fish to fry - retirement villages, stool softeners, anti-inflammatory diets to reduce the size of their prostates, etc.
Happy Christmas anyway lads. You’re a pair of alright sorts in my book.

You could have defended yourself if you hadn’t gone to bed at 10PM, while the “old lads” kept the party going into the early hours 
Happy Christmas pal, enjoy the sunshine

Agreed. Oranmore isn’t in the city pal.
Happy Christmas.
Second half of that was aimed at the moth.
