BBC Grandstand had a great mini doco on Chris Waddle and Ian Wright on the day of that FA Cup final, I watched it a load of times.
Westmeath won their first and only hurling All Star in 1986 (David Kilcoyne).

Dave Kearney was still playing rugby up until today
Garrycastle of the oft-referenced (on TFK) 2012 All-Ireland club football final fame are down in intermediate. They won their semi-final by 15 points though so Iād say an immediate return to senior should be imminent. One to watch for the Leinster intermediate football championship. They were beaten after a replay by St Lomanās in the senior final as recently as 2021.

Is there much in the way of hedges and wildlife?
In the 7-1 loss to Germany in 2014, Brazilās Fred didnāt make a single tackle, cross, run/dribble or interception in the whole game. More than half his touches were in the centre circle, kicking off after German goals

A different Fred but I think a fair point nonetheless
How useful it is being able to set certain posters to ignore.
Its a sure sign of weakness and will most likely finish you as a poster.
