78.0. "A NEW CORKMAN" by CSWVAX::MANNING () Tue Sep 16 1986 16:53

    This is my first contribution to Celts notes.
    Name is Pat Manning located at Stow, MA. U.S. Sales Programs
    Originally from Cork City; played minor hurling with Nemo
    Rangers aeons ago. Played hurling in Boston with Young Irelands
    and junior football with Erin's Hope.
    
    Great hurling victory for Cork in the recent All-Ireland final
    at Croke Park against Galway.
    
    I'd like to exchange local notes with other Cork people within
    DEC. Also, for the seemingly legions of Banner County people,
    my mother-in-law comes from Kilfenora. At 92, still going strong!!

    My paternal Grandmother, nee Lane, came over in the 1860s from the
    town of Innishannon, near Cork.  Just curious if you know anything
    of this place and what it's like.

    I've never been in that one. Mostly the "Hawthorn" up the Lough
    or
    the "Sunset Ridge" on the back road from Blackpool to Blarney.
78.5INISHANNONCSWVAX::MANNINGThu Sep 18 1986 14:014
    Just a small market town a few miles south-west of Cork City.
    It caters mostly to the needs of the local farming community.
    It is just before one enters the larger town of Bandon.

78.8FOOTBALL FINALSCSWVAX::MANNINGTue Sep 23 1986 09:278
    Go raibh mile maith agat!! Good for Kerry! One should never bet
    against them in a final. I'm sorry about the Cork minors - so
    close in the two finals. About time, now, for Clare to win a 
    championship.

78.10CLARE FULL-FORWARDCSWVAX::MANNINGTue Sep 23 1986 12:506
    You may be interested to learn that a former Clare and Munster 
    hurler, Willie McAllister, is living in Cambridge - very good
    personal friend. He played in the forties as full-forward with
    such greats as Mick Mackey, Limerick, Tommy Doyle, Tipperary,
    John Keane of Waterford and Ringie!!!! Great hurler and human
    being - one of my favorite people.

    I FORGOT TO ADD THAT HE HAILS FROM CLARECASTLE

    JUST TO START A CONTROVERSY!! WHO WAS THE BEST ALL-ROUND, REPEAT
    ALL-ROUND, HURLER SINCE, SAY, 1939. MY VOTE GOES TO JOHN QUIRKE
    OF CORK AND BLACKROCK, WITH JACKIE POWER OF LIMERICK AND AHANE

78.21A COUSIN IN BISHOPSTOWNCSWVAX::MANNINGMon Feb 16 1987 13:585
    Sorry for not replying sooner:I haven't accessed the Notes for
    a while. I do not know your husband's cousin but, perhaps, some
    of my Bishopstown friends would. When we go "home" we usually
    stay in Bishopstown on Cedar Grove with a very dear friend, Liam
    Hurley whose friendship goes back to the 3rd grade in Cork.
