I enter Thurles every year fully believing that we can turn around our bad record there. I make ridiculous bets before the game and let childish hurling giddyness override probability.

Someday I’ll be right and it will be worth it. [/QUOTE]

To be sure, to be sure- More Irish than the Irish themselves… Cead was always a peasants game, still is, hurling thrived where middle to large farmers thrived -Antrim doesn’t really fit this mould tho. It also ties into the anglicization of the gaelic aristocracy - Some took the soup early enough, others carried on the traditions of their ancestors right up to the late 18th century
