All the hurlers used to go there especially in the summer evenings. On Sunday evenings there could be 40 men there and teenagers. Then in another part of it you had all the youngsters and they were hurling away and then up in the other corner you had the handball alley.

TIPPERARY, 5-4; KILKENNY, 3-2. “The best hurling final for many years,” was the unanimous decision of those who witnessed yesterday’s game between the above at Croke Park for the final of last year’s hurling championship. Neither county, strange as it may seem, was represented by its best men, and in this connection Kilkenny suffered most, as both the Dickboro’ and Mooncoin clubs were practically unrepresented, while Tipperary were minus the services of the Toomevara players. From 11 o’clock large crowds were streaming into the grounds, and at 12 o’clock, the advertised starting time, it was estimated that about 5,000 spectators were present. The ground was in surprisingly good order, while no fault could be found with the playing pitch. Ald. Nowlan, President of the Association, together with the representatives of the Central Council and members of the Provincial Councils, looked after the arrangements, which, in the hands of the Secretary, Mr. L.
