Won a few mini world cups, including one year when I scored the only two goals of the final and got man of the match.

**John83** · 31/03/2007, 10:15 PM

Chess (I've won a bunch of stuff, including the Leinster U19 individual title, and an All-Ireland Schools U16s team title) and swimming (a bunch of minor medals from my youth). I've a couple of trivial GAA medals somewhere too, but I think they're probably all internal stuff. I gave up a lot of it as a kid, the swimming on medical advice.

I've won a few pool trophies at various amateur levels. I also represented Wales at under-age level.

Is that a reference to Christy Ring?

**Poor Student** · 02/04/2007, 12:29 PM

Nope, I'm referring to the quintessential Irish tradition of playing tip-in-the-hat as cited by Archbishop Croke.
