(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


I see Lar and Eoin are in New Yor for Matthew Maclins worlt title fight
just a few truths about Matthew Macklin for the benefit of the papers whoi dont seem to know where he is from

He is not from Ballingarry in Tiperary and has no connections with Ballingarry save that he went there on summer holidays when he was a kid.


1. His mother is from the rock of Ballycahill outside Thurles she is one of the Carrolls her name is Kathleen Carroll.
2. She is one of the Carrolls of the rock
3. His Father is from Four Roads in Roscommon.
4. His first cousins lve in Thurles and one is married to Tom Barry,former Tipp selector and she has a brother who played with Sarsfields and Holycross.

Hope that clears it up for all the national papers.!

Onlyhurling, Corbett is not a patch on JC. Most of his scores were in high scoring matches that Tipp won well. Canning does it every day, regardless of opposition. Where was Lar against KK last year?????


did you sleep thru the 09 final, Lar was easily motm in my opinion despite losing. He cleaned Brian Hogan and a few others that day. Stop making silly comparisons, completely different players. cop on!
