I see the late Seamus McIntyre in the Kenmare line up, a dual kerry minor and stalwart Kerry senior hurler for a decade or so., was on the Kerry team that beat Waterford in 1993, lost his life very young in a car crash
When we were in primary school, weâd go out to play Ballygunner NS. Their best player by a mile was one of the Whitty girls. Of course she had to give up the game when she went to secondary because none of the girls schools in the town played camogie- it wasnât a thing in Waterford in those days- and there was no pathway through boys under age hurling for her.
Dublin hosted that year. We had 2 lads from Ballygar in Roscommon staying in our house. One of them had a moustache, a leather biker jacket and smoked Carrollâs. I have a sneaking suspicion he rode my 16 year old sister after the ceili but she still denies it.
Roanmore beat Ballygunner to win the under 12 last year before Ballygunner came back and absolutely hammered Roanmore at under 13s this year and looked to have gone through the roof skill and physicality wise. Roanmore felt they had a good side.
