CLG Tallow 26th October 2020

Notaí CLG Tulach an Iarainn sponsored by Goalpost Ireland Tallow .

Deise Super Draw: Is going ahead on the 4th of November. Could any outstanding monies please be handed over to ones promoter over the weekend. 

The Championship without a Pulse: Watching a few games over the weekend and while both were high scoring it doesn't  mean that they were necessarily good . The empty stadiums have taken some of the soul and atmosphere out of the games. They seem like glorified league games but the players can only play what rules and regulations are in front of them. Waterford play Cork this Saturday on Sky Sports Mix (yes it sounds like a bag of sweets) or WLR and there is no form guide going into it and people are totally unsure what to expect of us. A win here were be huge to the team.

I was given a picture and a letter this week that I said I would share. The letter is an invitation for Mick Curley to play for Ireland in London. The competition I'm unsure of (possibly the Tailteann games) played in London, sometime in the thirties

The letter went as follows.

M.Curley esq.

GAA Tallow,

Co Waterford. 

A Chara,

             As you are aware, you have been picked to play with the Irish team in London. You are to travel to London on Saturday morning next. I enclose two tickets: one for Tallow on Saturday morning and one from Waterford to London. You can travel on the Dunlaoghaire boat on Saturday evening, the train may go on to Dunlaoghaire. Anyone at the Kingsbridge station will tell you what train to get for the boat, if your train does not got to Dun Laoghaire.

The remainder of the players will be on the boat and you will be accompanied by an official. Please bring two hurleys along with you. You may return on Monday evening as you desire.

Mise, le meas,

P O'Coaig.

Runaithe.

Waterford Team Picture is from 1937 and was taken in Cappoquin in April . Given that it was April it must have be the National League and the opposition was Clare. We had three men playing that day.

I don't know the identity of the young boy. 

Online lotto: We are hoping, all going well that we will get it going this weekend.
