1999 Munster hurling final.
7 years without a Munster title was a famine. 54k rammed into Thurles. The town end as usual a sea of red and white. Before throw in a huge Esat Digifone flag is passing along the terrace over our heads. It's stifling hot underneath it.
Smell of cider, used flares and the sound of airhorns make the atmosphere intoxicating.
Deane goals. The terrace explodes.
David Forde misses a 20 yard free. The terrace explodes again.
Full time and all hell breaks lose.
Flares going off everywhere.
2 of my buddies are on the team/panel. Make it down and celebrate with them.
Stop in the Avondhu Bar Fermoy on the way home. My dad is in there. He's langers first of only 3 times I've ever seen him drunk. He belts out De banks. Everyone joins in.
One of the great days.
