Best day bar none as Bouncers gain entry to winners’ club

EVERYWHERE else in Ireland, yesterday was a grey, damp day but not in the vast Garryspillane hinterland, in the villages of Knocklong and Galbally, where many of the Limerick SHC- winning team were born and raised.

Garryspillane was a parish en fete.

Not a drink fest, mind you; Sunday evening stretched to Monday’s dawn, and the two pubs in the village, Molly Dawson’s and O’Meara’s, did the kind of business one would expect on such a night, and again all day yesterday.
