Testimonials

Having read it from cover to cover, I thoroughly enjoyed my Ramble through Dear Old Ballina, which I left 70 years ago at age of 15. It is a fitting companion to Dear Old Ballina, and I congratulate you on its style and content. I parted with my copy to an American cousin and his wife who visited recently. He already had Dear Old Ballina and was delighted to have its companion. Hence, please send me a signed copy. Every best wish, K.D., West Sussex, England.

Ballina Stephenites win All-Ireland crown

By Terry Reilly (c)

ISN'T life strange! Ten months ago county champions Ballina Stephenites did
not have a manager, and the dogs in the street had it that training sessions
were being sparsely attended. The portents were not good.

Fast forward to the evening of March 17th '05 and the Stephenites are
All-Ireland club champions. What a turn around! Sometimes sportsmen have to
be invited to look into their souls when the chips are down, and that was
what new manager Tommy Lyons did when he took over the reins with former
playing colleagues Gerry Leonard and Jim McGarry and Paddy Ruane, father of
sturdy captain Brian.
