This is the verbatim match report on tonight’s Plate victory.

“The famine is over, 48-12 a perfect night for a game. Seven-nil up after five minutes.

DO’Mahony, Conner Cremin, Liam Carty to name but a few.

Line out worked perfectly.

Chris the “Yank”, and Connor Cremin many thanks to the golden oldiesjames Sull, S Barry Twiggsy, D Heaphy.

There was no man of the match, everyone played with all they had, our Captain worked and played like a captain D O’Mahony.”

Report by “The Special One”

=======================================================================================================

Actual match details are a bit sketchy, but you don’t get reports like that from Gerry Thornley.

The Legend strikes again, Kieran with Chairman Donal Scully

Tipp legend Shane with Kieran.

The Special One looks a bit like Gazza in that picture.

A blast from the past Shane Barry and Dave Heaphy.

If I remember correctly, the last time this trio was involved, (Donal, Doc and Kieran), we won four cups in the one season.

Some of the jersies look a little tight, must have shrunk in the wash.

Next leg, is next Friday night in Bandon, when we take on Dunmanway in the McCarthy Cup. I hope to make that game, so we might find out the actual scorers etc.
