Saturday and Jimmy Murray from Knockcroghery called in on his way to Clonmacnois
with his daughter Mary.Jimmy was the Captain of the famous Roscommon teams of
the 1943 / 44 era which of course featured Frank Kinlough and Monsignor Willie.
I joined them on the trip to Clonmacnois and they told me that Jimmy has produced
a 13 track CD and Tape of old Irish songs with the proceeds going to Lean ar Aghaid
Resource Centre for children with special needs.And he did as he gave me a copy.
At Clonmacnois we visited the graves of Frank and Willie Kinlough and Oliver Moran
and the Killeen plot as Jimmy is a cousin of mothers.Often wondered where I got
my football.Thought it was from Santa.We had a good look around in glorious sunshine
and then had to hurry back as Jimmy and Mary were eating the Early Bird at The Fort.
Anybody that wants a CD or Tape should send 20 dollars or equivalent to Jimmy.
Back home after her two months in New Zealand is Orla Finn looking great and the
envy of every young girl in the area with her hairstyle which I hope she will tell you
about herself as she taps in a report on the holiday.
Good few tourists enjoying the holiday weather and there were 10 boats at the Jetty
on Saturday night.
