It might be a day late and a dollar short but it would be wrong not to mark that day in ’89 when we all went to Dublin to cheer on the Saffrons in an All Ireland Senior Hurling final. Our lads met a Tipperary team who had been without an All Ireland title for seventeen years and were not going to be stopped. We were well beaten as the class of English and Fox shone through, but we still enjoyed it all…well most of it anyway….and it left us with memories we will take to our graves.
After it was all over we all went to the Grand Hotel and drowned our sorrows and danced and sung with the legend Seamus Richmond before heading home the next day with sore heads and sorer hearts.
