Donal Óg’s odyssey will keep us chatting
It’s a fantastic sign of maturity that different views can be expressed, agreed or disagreed with, parsed, analysed and discussed with no recriminations.
A prime example was in a recent Irish Examiner (October 27) and the coverage of Donal Óg’s venture to the Banner County. Michael Moynihan feels Donal Óg’s move increases his chance of being Cork Hurling supremo.
On the facing page, pundit John Fogarty opines that pigs will fly before he (Donal Óg) has a similar opportunity in his native county anytime soon.
Isn’t it mighty altogether that hurling related matters will be debated around the firesides in Cork and Clare for months to come?
I remember meeting the late great writer Bryan McMahon at Listowel Races in 1988– some days after the Cork and Meath Drawn All Ireland Football Final. His reply when I asked for his opinion on the game was “Yerra ‘twill shorten the winter for us”.It will be the same now for GAA fans all over Munster!
