Do you spot yourself in this photo?

Do you remember that day or other great days on the tennis courts?

We'd love to hear from you.

Frank Greaney's Garage

Frank and Jim R.I.P. were great mechanics. Their love of cars and their knowledge of how they worked saw them offer a great service to us in Listowel for many years.
I don't think today's computerised everything would be able to diagnose what needed to be done to this car.

Yes, he is Irish and Proud of his Roots

My U.S. followers will immediately recognise this colourful New England Patriot. He is quarterback ,Tom Brady and he was one of the stars of Sunday evening's victory which sees his team into the Super Bowl.

Brady's Irish roots are in Cork {maternal) and Cavan (paternal)

All Ireland Football 1914

In 1914 the quarter final of the Munster Hurling Championship was played in Listowel.

Munster Senior Hurling Championship

Quarter-final 10 May 1914  ;          Kerry     4-1 - 7-3 Clare  played at Listowel

That Clare team went on to win the All Ireland

The final score in the All Ireland at Croke Park, was Clare 5-1, Laois 1-0. The Clare team on the day was: A. Power (capt.), J. Power, M. Flanagan, E. Grace, T. McGrath, P. McInerney, J. Shalloo, W. Considine, B. Considine, M. Moloney, R. Doherty, J. Fox, J. Clancy, J. Guerin, J. Spellisey. 

Note James Guerin scored 3 goals. Tragically he died during a flu epidemic  in 1918. 

The team trainer was Jim Hehir (father of the legendary broadcaster, Michael O’Hehir)

Note.

ALL IRELAND HURLING: Kerry's record;      1 win     1891  

I am told that the sister of Kerry team member in 1891 was working in Clare and would row across the Shannon for her  Christmas break.
