Today our local primary school hurling (boys) and camogie (girls) teams went to Cusack Park in Ennis as they had both won places in the county finals of their respective games.
The teams comprised pupils from Dromindoora and Flagmount primary schools, and the rest of the pupils from both schools went too as travelling support.
Fantastically, the boys AND girls both won their matches and returned back to the village in a massive impromptu parade of flag-waving, hooting of car horns and lighting of ceremonial bonfires along the roadway. This was all new to us, but is apparently traditional in the West of Ireland to welcome the victors home.
Marvellous !!
Unsurprisingly, everyone then ended up at the pub.... of course.
