Check if my 1983 minor county champions photo is still on the wall

How did ye beat in the final? Callan won 1982 and we had 3 on the 1984 county team.

The floodlights were on before the 2011 Final it was so wet. I got absolutely soaked during the minor.

It cleared up though during the Senior game and there was an incredible September sun there by the end.

That seemed to be a theme in 2011.

Before each of the Dublin v Donegal, Kilkenny v Tipp and Dublin v Kerry games it pissed rain about 40 minutes to an hour beforehand, then cleared up.

Nore valley or Nire valley?

Miserable here in Portlaoise.

And the weather is bad too

How long are you in for and how did you smuggle in the smartphone?

2010 was pretty wet if I recall correctly, as was the 2013 replay. 2009 was a pretty murky day too but not sure if it rained

I don’t recall any rain at the 2013 replay. 2009 it was raining in Dublin all morning and lunchtime. The rain might have stopped by the time of the game but it was a rain affected game.

2010 was proper wet. 2019 there was a monsoon during the first half.

The 1983 final was wet and stormy. The very worst rain at a big match was the 1995 Leinster Final. The 1998 Munster Final replay was very wet. My self and Powery got soaked. It really favoured the mullockers from Clare. The 1985 All Ireland semi final between Galway and Cork was also played in a downpour. The Limerick Kilkenny final of 1973 was wet wet wet.

Kilkenny v Limerick 2014 had awful rain.

I stand corrected. Delighted you kept Power in your pocket. He turned out to be a right bollix in the end.

I knew John fairly well all the way up. He split me at U14 and I was always wary of him after that. I think he was a year younger which probably explains Locke’s win the year after. He was always friendly to me after the few times I met him.

He married a Thomastown neighbour after. But I was gone by then.

1982 was very wet as well the day Skehan ate the apple

@habanerocat I’ll try and get up for a pint on Sunday. Glorious evening here now, but pretty breezy.

A thunder storm just skirted us as we were setting up so we got very lucky. Could see and hear it off in the distance.

No, a carpenters daughter.

‘83 must have been some year for rain.

I was at this game. Christ even me underpants were soaking.

Galway bay swim has been postponed on account of the weather for the first time in 18 years.

[Raylan]

Aren’t ye getting wet anyhow?

[flattythehurdler]

Thank you so much to all who sponsored. I note all of you. They are hoping to go in August again.

St Swithin’s Day tomorrow.

At the other end of that road to The Bridge is Ennisnag Lounge. Used be a lively spot years ago but the driving ruined it. You’re only a small bit then from Kells (the pub where they filmed The Riordans) and Stoneyfort. Although I never stopped in Stoney in my life.
