Fogarty recently recommenced his hurling career with Portumna, after a brief sabbatical, and as is the case with all of our GAA clubs, the town's Junior B side welcomed him back with open arms. There's a place for everybody on the Junior B's.
The 23-year-old's absence made the heart grow fonder, and his return has rekindled the love he always knew he had for the game.
He was enjoying it so much, that he decided to write a song for the big day.
"I only went back hurling this year after four years out and I realise how much I actually missed the game. I've been loving my time back and it sort of inspired me to write the song," said the Portumna man to SportsJOE."I promised the lads two weeks ago that I'd write a song for the way up to the match. I Don't think anyone believed I would, but in the end it turned out to be a big success. "It's only junior B, but we have a strong bond among the whole team. We enjoy a good game but nothing beats a win, and more importantly the pints afterwards," he continued. https://youtu.be/sblasAPnuys In fairness to Fogarty, that's a fine effort and has all the potential to become an anthem for the strong Junior B faithful around the country. He's no stranger to playing some traditional ceol, and the Portumna crusaders will be glad to find out that he has promised to write another song for the All-Ireland final
"I'd like to play a lot more than I do, I'm only a bodhran player and singer but would love to be in traditional band or modern band of some sort. I'll be writing another one for the final."Hat-tip to Donal Donoghue for sending this our way.
Commentators ignore outrageous ‘pass-to-himself’ from Kobe McDonald
Sensational skill! To the surprise of few, Kobe McDonald took to Croke Park like a duck to water in Mayo’s All-Ireland quarter-final win over Cork. The AFL-bound teenager scored within 30 seconds of his Croker debut, and continued to dazzle with an outrageous outside-of-the-foot two pointer. In the end, the Crossmolina man finished with 0-04, […]
