No pads, No fear, just brute strength, skilled tactics and a little speed, that is what was on display Saturday at College Settlement Park in Horsham. I was surprised to see the range of age in the players and the athleticism of men this size who look like they would be more comfortable sitting in a pub than pushng, pulling there way down a pitch on a nice Saturday afternoon. Sorry I couldn’t stay for the 3rd half as I had another game to catch. It was great seeing the Conaghans, Regans and Boyles, along with a contingent of supporters from Villanova’s Irish Studies Program.
