The Athlone
District Schoolboy/Girl League was sad and sorry to hear of the death of Pat
âCiscoâ Flynn last Friday.
Like a celebrated
South American footballer he was known to everyone, and we mean everyone,
simply as âCiscoâ.
Cisco is
synonymous with football and underage football in particular in Athlone....
KENNEDY CUP â DAY 6 â FRIDAY 20TH JUNE 2014
Our last day began
at a leisurely pace. Gudgie brought his lads for a full Irish. The rest of us slummed
it and made to do the best we could.
In the morning the
coaches had individual feedback meetings with each of the players. That was a
good idea and went well.
Most then went to
watch a...

the amount of compliments and praise which the players received today was very
flattering and very...
DAY 4 - KENNEDY CUP â WEDNESDAY 18TH
JUNE 2014
The ADSL Kennedy
Cup Squad would wish to acknowledge the statement by RTE this morning that Bill
OâHerlihy is to retire at the end of this World Cup.
It is only right
and proper that he should do so. His comments about Jo and Fred on last nightâs
broadcast were gratuitous and...
DAY 3 â TUESDAY 17TH JUNE 2014
In
golf this would be called âMoving Dayâ.
Two
games in a relatively short period, under a blazing sun, big crowds and a bit
of pressure will determine the fate of our week.
It
started well. We were up for a good breakfast for 9.00 and everybody seems well
up for the task. We know that we simply...
DAY 2 â MONDAY 16TH
JUNE
What a beautiful
day!
The day was
blessed with glorious sunshine and the youthful enthusiasm and exuberance of
eager anticipation for a great five days of football. There are few better
places to be this week.
For the ADSL we
were up for breakfast at 9.00am. For most it was a great nightâs sleep. For...
KENNEDY CUP 2014 -

Why
this should be Day 1 I will never know as we have been preparing for this for
months, for years even but the real deal starts today as we meet up at
Kilmartins at 4.00pm to head down to Limerick.
Spirits
are high and everybody is looking and feeling good.
We
take a break on the way down and...

Drama was not
confined to the Dean Crowe Theatre this week as eight ADSL Cup Finals were
played out last weekend amid great excitement and despite the very worst of

Honours were
evenly spread with both Temple Villa and AC Francis lifting two titles while

trip that just gets better and better.
Down for breakfast at 8.30am

impressive. We were out on the pitch, which is incredible. It is like the best
putting green you have ever...
ADSL EASTER TOUR â DAY 4 â SATURDAY 19TH
APRIL 2014
What a special and truly
memorable day!
We did not have a game today.
The team we were supposed to play pulled out and it was not possible to arrange
another fixture at such short notice. A day off would do us no harm.
Early on there were a few
fellas going around in quiet...
