    Attended my first all ireland football 1959 at the age of eleven Remember as it was yesterday and can still name most players as Kerry beat Galway Murphy and Sheehy brothers Micko D and the greatest of them all Mick O Connell stared for Kerry. I have connections to Listowel and Macroom Stayed in house with John Kinsella mid 60s for 6 months( esb apprentices) and my granddaughter CLARA O BRIEN lives near Toomsbridge. She like John is big into irish music. Featured on TnaG playing fiddle. She’s 13yo. Take care and GodBless.
