Boro School team 1965/66, paralympics and Galway's day?

A big bualadh box for everyone on the Tidy Town committee on winning another well deserved gold. As you can see from my recent photographs, our town is a credit to them and I am delighted to see all their hard work rewarded.

Broadsheet run a competition for a Limerick a day. Here is yesterday's.

At Croke Park they gathered to pray,
On Hurling’s most magical day,
And on the last whistle,
They cheered and said “This’ll,
Earn a fortune for the GAA!”

John Moynes
