Cúchulainns hurling team

[jerryp]

Heard there was something on Sunday's papers about a cross- community hurling team in Belfast !

Anyone ?

I saw the PSNI hurling team.

Put it this way. They are more skillful with batons.

I felt the same way as you did when I saw 15 hurling purists beat a bunch of Johnny-come-lately's in Croker on Sunday.
You can teach skills, but you cannot beat breeding

Not a worry.
I'd have liked to have seen Dublin win, but obviously, not against Galway.
I thought the ref lost control at a few points, and that both teams were lucky to end with 15 men. What the umpires were looking at for some of the off-the-ball stuff is beyond. Unless the pretty Camogie players were sitting behind them.

I have high hopes for this Galway team.

Could not agree more. Were you at the match as well?

The Cuchulainns btw, was in the Tribune. A hurling squad drawn from four schools, two Catholic and two Protestant, to tour America some time soon. Named after a hero that both sides can endorse.

I wasn't, I wanted to watch the racing from Longchamp as well, on at the same time.
The beauty of Setanta allows me to do this.

As for the Cuchulainns, I hope their trip to the US is as profitable as Derry's trip in 1994.
I cant remember who kicked the winner in the previous years final, (Ill go for McCusker, but it wasn't) but the auctioned the alleged winning boot 23 times

Isn't it mostly southerners on that that team?

Judging by the surnames probably but no idea. How many southerners have joined PSNI?

THis is an excelllent initiative started by the headmaster of St Patricks Boys secondary school in north Belfast, along with the Boys Model, Ashfield, and Corpus Chrisit? They started off playing a combination of both hurling and shinty and had a few matches in scotland as far as I know. Last year they came down to Croke Park and did the tour and the museum, along with east belfast UPRG and CTI leader Frankie Gallagher. These guys are sticking their necks out and challanging the sectarians and nay-sayers in both communities. Fair play to them, I hope the trip to the states goes very well.
