Hurling fan gets a lucky break

ON August 3 I left Tipperary with my seven-year-old grandson to attend the under-21 Munster hurling final in Cork.

The traffic was heavy in the vicinity of Pairc Uí Chaoimh and I parked in a space between two houses.

I am driving all my life and, at 58 years old, I have no convictions for speeding, parking or causing an obstruction. So I made sure there was ample space for cars to exit both driveways. The road was full of cars - all, like mine, parked outside houses.
