Finished them as a club. The auld lad and uncles were at the game and talk about it often.The row started before throw in when the anthem was being played. The Bansha boys started it when their full back said to his marker that he was going to do him at some stage so it might as well be now. Bansha won by virtue that it was a 29 man brawl and numerical advantage counted. Solohead had a lad of 15 playing and he was seen as out of bounds for the row. There were some proper hard boys playing like the McCarthys and Morrissey’s for Galtee while Solohead had the Shiners and Coopers.
It was the game that brought Paddy Russell to national game.
Sean Og O Cealleachain before he gave the scoreline of the game on his Sunday evening show said the game brought some of the most disgraceful scenes ever seen on a GAA field giving a run down of events.
I thought the same regarding Hennesssy, Egan though deserves to be in there. Savage clubman and if he was only able to mind his weight he’d have been much more.
