A little roundup . . and, Oh Canada

The season is kicking in in earnest . . . . .Eoin McLaverty left his hospital bed to join his UCD team in Tipperary for their All Ireland Freshers Cup win over UCC, congratulations Eoin . . . Andrew Hartnett (Captain) Eoin Fanning weren'tt as lucky when TCD lost to Tralee IT in the Trench Cup Final . . . Martin Ormande is having a great season with the Fingal hurlers . . . Dublin v Tipperary at Parnel Park last Sunday was great value, watch out for the Kilkenny and Cork games, well worth the effort . . . I mentioned Sid Crosby last Autumn when he led Pittsburg to the Stanley Cup, now he pops up in overtime to clinch the Olympic Title for the Canadians and I had to eat crow for my Canadian family, all hail the mighty Canucks. . . . and, I must mention Mick Delaney's(Sec of Leinster Council) comments last week on the 'backdoor' and Club V County debate, nice to see someone willing to stir the pot!!
