Enjoyed that. Shame there wasnt a few more in attendance but there were quite a few. Really nice to see so many ex players turning out for both teams. Some of them still look very fit, some it took me a little while to recognise. Bit surreal seeing players from different generations on the same side. We had 4 different eras of left backs on the same team at one time, Tom Kelly (one of my all time faves), Robbie Herrera, Paul Gibbs and Kevin Nicholson - Brian McGlinchey had been in there also. There were also a lot of ex players in attendance who werent even playing either but came along to support. I think the final score was 4-4, but it was a really good afternoon, would love to see this sort of thing more often.
