Interesting venture(nothing to do with me!) which deserves some publicity I guess!

(Haven't seen it anywhere else)

That's Colin O'Riordan's brother, I'm sure. He's been going quite a while now. Tough old schedule for him.

Bit silly though, how much does it cost to get to every ground in the country?

Also who will be marking him, how far out will he have to score from and how many shots will he get? If he had to score outside the 45 from one attempt, while being marked by Keith Higgins, I'd consider donating a hard earned euro.

If he could do that, he would have been kidnapped by some of the clubs or counties along the way!

Is there a schedule of when he will be visiting each club/county?

Would be interesting to see when he's in the local area.

He has a facebook page. Kick for Kolkata or something like that. I think he puts the schedule up there. A lot of his donations come from the clubs he visits.

Find it hard to believe there are only 1616 club and county grounds in Ireland seem a small number

I would say some clubs don't have their own pitch and use public parks

Well if every club visited threw him a modest 50 quid for his endeavours it would be a decent haul.
