Some Dunderry GAA results and Clare 1970 All Irelands.

As already reported the Inter Hurlers were beaten by Tones last Sunday.
The Junior D.s winning run came to an end against Ballinlough at Moynalty on Monday ,when the management skills of Donie Mooney and the considerable football nous of Mick Newman and Liam Og Farrell fell short of the job on hands.No shame lads .I think ye are still in the hunt.
The team the focus of my current attention ,the under 14 footballers,met their first defeat on Tuesday night against a very mature Stamullen team,going down by three points I think.I missed that game as it coincided with the blessing of the graves in Churchtown ,where my great grandfather and grandmother(a native of Headford by name Naughton )  are buried next to the Conways.
I noted a Conway death in 1845 ,the time of the famine.So these grounds are indeed old.
I am told that Cromwell knocked this church and all the Churches hereabouts.A tyrant if ever there was one.How sad that his sentiments towards Catholicism are shared by the current well known  members of the circle of hate,who decry our religion at every opportunity.
I think our under 13 Camogie Team beat Brownstown in a challenge on Tuesday .A bit of light at the end of the tunnell.
Reminds me of the late Tommy Moloney ,a fanatical Clareman and great boozing buddy and a a lover of the Gaelic game.When Clare were going bad in the early seventies at football and hurling  and a group of us were discussing this sad state of affairs he took full advantage by laying a fiver each with us that Clare had won four All Irelands that year.
He won his bet.
As memory recalls it they were:
Kilfenora won Ceili Band.
Kirby won Handball
Junior Camogie won All Irteland
and a Clareman won the frog swallowing.
And he didn't bat an eyelid.
