How Tipperary’s close circle of friends kept the flame burning
“I don’t have Sky Sports. I was listening to Saturday Sport. They mentioned the score a couple of times. Five points to two and so on. But they never gave the result (The show finished before the match did). I put on the television news around half-six. And the sports results came up. Not a word. I got onto my daughter to see would she go on the internet. Then she had a text from a son of mine who is working in England. ‘Up Tipp’. So I got the result from England.”
Michael Kennedy was hanging on word from Breffni Park last Saturday evening. Earlier, his daughter had landed to bring him from his home in Clonskeagh in Dublin, but he’s 87 now, and on this afternoon, he didn’t feel able.
