Last week was such a hectic and busy week in our pub that I was nearly hanging for the break and the change of scenery in Ennis yesterday, even if I knew full well beforehand that the action wasn’t going to be anywhere near as full-blooded and exciting as what I witnessed in Cheltenham.
It wasn’t. When I was strolling out of Cusack Park afterwards, this Cork fella sidled up beside me. “Great game for so little at stake Anthony, boy,” he said.
