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.

    EVERY team, they say, has one great game in them. Did we see Mayo's great

    game of 2006 delivered against the Dubs?

    So here's the nub of it: can we do it all over again, and perhaps even

    better this time, against the kingpins of Gaelic football, to win the
