Anyone who was around Philipstown in the 80’s and 90’s can well remember the many dozens of youngsters who arrived on bicycles ti Philipstown field. Ten-speed racers in luminous red, purple and silver with handle-bars like goat horns all parked inside the gate on your right. And there was Linda in the middle of it all. Her very own new racer carried her boots, stick and all the gear for the camogie. Sandra, Olivia and cousin Valerie rendezvoused with Martha, Catriona, Síobhan, Niamh, Mary Johnson Jnr and Noeleen at Mosstown Fuels and enjoyed the short journey to Philipstown. On reflection I’m still wondering was camogie the attraction or was there an off chance of surveying some talent en-route. The reward of a Mr Freeze or a Dan bar in Molly’s made the journey worth while.
