    Great to see all these young people out in the fresh air enjoying themselves rather than be stuck indoors playing video games !
    Well done to all of you!

    Top photos. Brings back memories. Except the day we played in it back in 84 it was hailing and blowing a gale. One of the ours had to be subbed off due to exposure. It was worth it though cos we won 3-2. No, that’s 3 points to 2. Then back up to McDonald’s in Phibsborough for some class celebration. Brill.
