I never remember a colder day watching a G.A.A. game. And then we had the cock-up over the time of the game. And cock-up it was whoever was at fault. But we had a right good hurling game in the conditions and Connacht were a trifle lucky to win in the end by 1-10 to 1-9. My Connacht stars were Sylvie Linnane who scored a vital late point from a 100 yards free; Brendan Lynskey, durable as ever; Joe Cooney, always the classy forward and Anthony C u n n i n g h a m , at last beginning to find his feet and scoring 2 capital points.

At Tralee on Sunday last Connacht footballers surprisingly beat Munster by 2-6 to 0-7. Man of the match according to The Irish Press selection was Padhraic K e l l y of M o y c u l l e n , currently playing the best football of his career and fit as a fiddle as he trains the U . C .
