Article for An Focal, Issue 2, by K Quinn
First of all, well done to all who have impressed in recent trials
and made the panels for the various teams. This is a very special
year for hurling in UL - our 25th anniversary.
It's important that we do well this year. When one considers the
facilities, the back-up, the personnel, the players we have at our disposal
one must wonder why our achievements on the field don't match our resources
off the field. Just look around boys, what more do we
need ?? The trophies to be handed to us on a silver-plate,
just like everything else? I know the efforts and sacrifices that
everyone has put in - that has to be applauded and indeed respected.
This, however, is a new season. This is our season, our team,
our time. We have a couple of months. Everyone
must make that extra effort and come March we can look back with pride.
So to all Seniors, Intermediates and Freshers, come next March we will
be in the position to say - "We gave it hell !!" And if we win or
lose, we will end the season with respect.
Congratulations to John Cormican Seamus Chalke, Patsy Cahill,
Fergal Kenzie and the great James Butler who were on the victorious Limerick
Intermediate team. Mr Cormican, the Limerick captain, was an outstanding
member of last years Fitzgibbon but has since joined the working world.
Anyway, for all Galway people and indeed Celtic supporters, go
to D***ns bar in town where you are likely to hear the finest ever rendition
of "The Fields of Athenry" - sang by The ****. (To be revealed later).
Any of you notice how the admission costs to disco's have rocketed
lately?? - must be that Celtic Tiger.
