That is the Gaelic Ground.

Killian Burke, Stephen Murphy, Niall Cashman. Stephen McDonnell and Walsh aren’t fit but I assume they’ll be on the bench.

Pretty sure it’s Limerick of old.

Up Cork :grin:

Even though they’d no jerseys there was a lot more colour about the olden days

There’s a hill in the background though which would rule out Thurles or Limerick?

Killarney maybe?

That’s the cratloe hills where the Golf Ball is

I didn’t think you could see a hill from the Gaelic Grounds but your story checks out.

Are you actually from Limerick?

Out Whest mush. Sure we’d only going into town on the 8th

Access to the old Gaelic Grounds before the Mackey Stand was built in 1987 was different. Access for the terraces was directly on the main road or by crossing the field which is still alongside the ground on the city side. These yahoos are on that field.

Some good photos here from the Gaelic Grounds…

Team photo form the same day as Cork yahoo photo above (this was my first Munster final)

And one for @balbec

Pretty sure that’s the 1975 Munster Final in the Gaelic Grounds. Could it be the current Chairman of the Munster Council, and father of Diarmuid and Paudie O’Sullivan, 40 years on?

Not a bad likeness, for the wife too…

I think that is Bernie Savage’s brother Liam. Must check the book tonight. @glasagusban there is a Na Piarsaigh stalwart in the front row of that Kilmallock team.

The Fionnan Sheehan lookalike is Joe Naughton. Taught in Scoil Ide for years and still goes to games. Sound skin. I’m guessing the Na Piarsaigh stalwart is Jimmy Millea?

You have to go find if it is him. Sensational spot if so
