Ravensdale and Lordship in the Wee County

The Pats Football Club, Lordship. Co Louth

Sometimes I think I’m the oldest swinger in town.

The others were also in the prime of life and had a gung ho look about them which depressed me. Then it…

Then because we felt like doing a bit of work, but not too much,we went into Ravensdale Park and continued to Dromad. After the Carrickdale we turned right and were met with a sharp hill initially, but it was not impossible and we were…

Twelve of us set off from Felda at 10 am. I led the group as far as the Greengates, then pulled in to encourage them to go to the front. The strong group pulled away rapidly and I was happy to see them…
