Yes, this followed an initiative by the Antrim Co Board  in the late 70s whereby kids were encouraged to pick up the skills of the game or else they'd be shot.  A few years later we made the All Ireland final.

You have to say one thing for the British Army, it always gave young English, Scot and Welsh lads the chance to experience other cultures abroad before the Irish offered them cheap flights on Ryanair.

Great photo by the way.

It is notable how few cars are on the street. Most places like that are parked out nowadays.

At least 4 men (or women!), there is another gun in the photo and there is the cameraman/woman.
