It has stood for decades along the county gravel road.
Skittering mice and barn owls now call it their abode.
What was once a stately building is now a shambles,
Surrounded by barren fields and prickly brambles.
Where once its weather-boarding was a bright cherry-red,
Due to the ravages of time, they're now a silvered-gray instead.
Yet can be seen a faded Mail Pouch Tobacco sign on its weathered side,
And a rusty weather-vane twisting in the wind, though a bit cockeyed!
Seasons of howling gales have striven to raze its sturdy oaken beams,
But they've held the old barn together though straining at its seams.
Its cavernous lofts once abounded with fragrant alfalfa hay,
That provided children a playground on many a rainy day.
It sheltered horses, sheep and cattle on frigid winter nights,
And for lack of electricity, it was lit by flickering lantern lights.
It was built when neighbors helped neighbors who were skilled,
At wielding hammer and saw and cherished great pride in their guild.
This poem has influenced my hurling career and has inspired to try my best every time I step on the pitch, hopefully it does the same for the saffron county #saffsabu

jonny.....you see this is the sort of negativity we do not need in the county, you must give the young hurlers a chance to see what they are made of, rather than just losing faith in them even before you've seen them play....

I wanna be vice chairman
I really do care man
I’m ready to conquer this little land
With my little hands and little glans
If you pick me you won’t regret it
Ill stand and scream and sweat
You can come on over and pet it
The big trophy we can win let’s get it
Noah will ah bloah ya damn mind
So you know what would be a crime?
If you didn’t pick me #upasaffs #daretodream

Breandan Russell, whitey, we need to give young players time develop into the senior squad, I would say it will be more than 5 years and we cant just put that pressure on their shoulders at such a young age.
