Re: Celebration for '85 hurlers - Doheny & Nesbitt's Sat Sept 5
A great session.
Tom Mangan made sure everyone was well watered and fed.
The highlight of the night was Joachim Kelly singing and extended mix of the Offaly Rover and brilliantly recreating the commentary for both Pat Cleary's goals from the final.
The only pity was that the Offaly team got scant coverage on RTE. There were a few seconds of deferred highlights. Instead we were treated to about 40 minutes of long winded punditry from the studio.
