    Playing matchmaker are you, Kevin?
    

KeVin,

Pardon my ignorance, but just what goes on in Lisdoonvarna in September???

As for my Uncle, I'm sure he could drive a tractor.  He's definately true to
form:  He can talk his way out of most things ....  and fight his way out of the
rest!!!!

    All Ireland Senior Hurling Final, result :
    
    Cork 5-15  		Galway 2-21
      (30)		  (27)
    
    That's Cork's 27th championship win.
    
    	- Robin.......

    
    
    But I heard that we deserved to win ....... can't wait for Snakes
    report,  wish it would come out before I go home.
    
    Next year must be Galways year to start another 3 in a row.
    
    

    
    
    	Congratulations Robin (and Pat Manning) ...  	:-)
    
    	A few of us went to Boston to watch the match on closed-circuit
    	TV and I'd say that Galway got what they deserved. Cork EXPLODED
    	during the second half, and showed more desire to win.
    
    
    	Now on for the "Double" !!!

    aaaaaaAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh
                                              

    Here's a question about an [alleged] special event here in Boston...
    
    When I was in Galway in June, I bought a claddagh ring from a man in
    Spiddal, at a shop called Galway Gold.  This man had some NICE stuff
    (in my opinion, the nicest claddaghs I saw anywhere) and I could have
    easily spent all my money there. 
    
    He told me he was coming to Boston in September for some sort of
    convention of Irish craftspeople.  He had been here in a previous year, 
    and the show had been at the Hynes Auditorium.
    
    I have called the Hynes, as well as Bayside, and they have no such
    affair on their agendas.  Short of calling every convention hall in the
    greater Boston area, I thought I'd post this here...does anybody know
    anything about such an event?   I'd love to see him again, he does
    beautiful work.  
    
    I'm beginning to think I dreamed this up.....the week in Galway was
    certainly a fantasy!
    

    Leaprechauns are the stuff that dreams are made of.
    
    Re .13
    
    No you were not dreaming there is a Boston/Galway/Derry fair in Boston,
    and there has been for the last three years.  KeVin was there once. 
    I believe it is happenening soon again this year.  I wish I had more 
    details but Mayor Flynn is involved and he has someone in his office
    a Mr. Costello I believe who is closer to the action.
    
    Snake is sipping hurling poison.
    

    
    
    	You know that all you had to do is ask ME ...    :-)
    
    
    	Its at the World Trade Center in a few weeks.
    
    
    	I'll give you all the when I see you on Monday.
    
    
    

    Thank you!!  And Kevin, I WAS asking you, I was just asking everyone
    else at the same time.  ;^}  

    
    Any more details besides the Trade Center?  Exact dates, times, etc?

    Get them to Croke Park to see Cork win BOTH halves of the double!!
    

    
    
    	If I bet on Cork, they won't stand a chance of winning !!!	:-)
    
    
    
    	keVin
    

Which double are Cork going to win

	Double Vision.

	Double Black eyes.

	Double broke limbs.

Yes I hope Cork win it.

The hurling All-Ireland was a classic. Great performance by both teams. Pity 
one of them had to lose. However as one had it was just as well it was Galway.
I got a 2-1 bet on Cork.

Great All-Ireland under 21 between Kilkenny and Galway last Sunday. Tipp must be
kicking themselves though. They had about 65% of the possession but 2 Kilkenny
Forwards caused mayhem in the Tipp defence. Any Half chance they got they 
scored.

Am looking forward to the replay of the minor in Thurles. That should be 
another good day out.

	MBr

    >re .22, wish I could be in Thurles for the minor final. To me, minor
    hurling has always been the best grade for classic, stylish hurling.
    And, of course, what more appropriate venue than Thurles. Does anyone
    know how many (if any) North Mon players are on the Cork minor team?

    
              NEWS FLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
       Culbert loses in primary.    Damn!!!!!!!!!!

    	The clever marketing people failed to mention any of the times

Re .31

I understand Kilkenny are putting out the Camogie team This time. Cork havent
a hope.

The Downey sisters will take them apart.

For those who may be interested in Camogie - Kilkenny won the Senior camogie
All Ireland yesterday. It is their 6th All Ireland in a row. This is some
achievement. The final score was 

Kilkenny 1-14 Wexford 0-7

It is Angela and Anne Downey's 10th All-Ireland Camogie title. 

And Yes I will be in Thurles for the Minor All Ireland on Sunday.

MBr

Well minor All-Ireland was played on Sunday. It was not as good a match as the
drawn game.

Just as in the drawn game Kilkenny went ahead in the first half. They were 11
points up at half time. Kilkenny won the centre of the filed and kept their
forwards well supplied with scorable ball. All Kilkenny's forwards scored .

In the second half Cork started strongly with the wind. However this time the 
Kilkenny half back line held firm and repulsed every attack. Then a long 
ball reaced P.J. Delaney in the Kilkenny forwards. Just like his father - 
when this young lad gets a ball like that he has one thing on his mind GOAL.

He scored and that ended the match as a contest. Cork heads went down and 
Kilkenny went on to win by 14 points.
