Didn't know you were a DIT man Jinxy. Or as Neil Delamare calls them, someone who didn't get where they wanted in the CAO.

Time to start planning the trips.



What's Newbridge like in January - any better than any other time of the year?

Group 3 is the Group of death.

Might be able to throw some corporate tickets your way.

Premium is as far as I go Dinny, no atmosphere in those boxes...

[Jinxy]

Durrow Castle.

Good carvery?

[south Laois]

Durrow castle wouldn't exactly be the place that does carvary Jinxy. It would be more of a fine dining experience!! Also it 15 miles from Portlaoise. O Loughlins on main street Portlaoise does good grub.

[Jinxy]

Oh, so you think Durrow Castle is too good for the likes of me? 
Just for that I'm definitely staying there.








They better do a nice apple tart.

Not sure your sleeveless Trevor Giles jersey will meet the formal dining requirements, recommend a polo shirt with Mr. Tayto blazed all over the front of it.

Here we go!

Kildare v Longford gets the ball rolling this Sat in Newbridge at 2 pm.

Looking forward to getting some shouting and roaring out of the system with this being the first official inter county game of 2017 (I think)

Hopefully there won't be a crush on the way in.......
