Any way of finding a fixture list? I live close enough and have wandered by the canal occasionally when a match was on. Been meaning to catch a game or two.

I saw a great sign up behind the bar in John Hayes’s Pub in cappamore:

You know what though, I would have been brilliant at those un-contested scrums .

My pal Liam tells me that nostalgia is not what it used to be, I think he might be wrong !

its a very rare 2 see a munster player or any other pro player covered in muck and soaking 2 the bone not like j&senior club rugby players..Oh they might get hurt playing in the mud next they will want heated pitchs incase they get cold when they are on the grond in a ruck r they will change the rules again no rucks ,mauls scrums {A fuck it} the rules will be if u look at the player with the ball he has 2 pass it .No contact 2b made at anytime what so ever ..it dangerous play…I love cottonwool rugby.

Or, if there was a Thirds game on in the afternoon, at least one of the wingers would have a transistor radio in his pocket to listen to sports results and racing because the only time he’d get to run for the ball was if it was kicked into touch.

We had a full back once who was as blind as a bat, but in fairness could drink and sing for Ireland. One day the ball came sailing over his head and he scattered back to retrieve it. As the opposing kicker was haring towards the ball, cries of “go down on it” were quickly answered as our no.15 dived on the white object stuck in the mud. Its true what they say, once you’ve heard a seagull screaming in fear of its mortal life, you never forget it.

@Sniffle, you’re on the ball about Jerry C.
