Went to all our league games there and crowds varied hugely. Thurles's last season - 81/2 we played there near the end and there was only a handful at the game.

I remember seeing Thurles play Stoke City in 1977 - Peter Shilton in goal. quite a few out from Limerick at that - lovely summers day Stoke won 6-0 if I remember rightly.

Yeah Shilton spent the night in Tom Brereton's pub!

Slight correction on the cup games - the second game was in markets Field with TT snatching a draw with 2 second half goals. If I remember rightly Kevin Fitzpatrick threw one in early in the second replay and we thought we were on our way but.........................
