Hello. I would like to congratlate Banjo and Lauren on their brilliant book which I finished a few days ago and thoroughly enjoyed. It was beautifully written and the cold of the mountains was actually coming off the pages. Great stuff.

Do any of your readers recall the Top Talent shows of the early 1960s (Newry Parochial Hall) or the Meadow Soccer Leagues of 1958 (Ballybot, Pye Estate, Parkview, West End, etc.) & 1962 (Rockview, Meadow Rangers, Parkview, Damolly, etc.)?

Hi Tom Wharton, I stand corrected!!! My brother Brian has put me right. Tommy Prices chippy was around the Mill St. area and he did have a three wheeler ice cream bike. They say the memeory is the first to go.

Hi Tom Wharton, I remember Tommy Price's cafe in Abbey Yard and his ice cream van. To summon the children he would blow on a old brass bugle. I can't place him ever having a fish and chip shop. are you thinking of Tommy Byrne...now he had a three wheeler ice cream bike and a wee sweet shop on the corner of Kilmorey St. and Quay St. He later opened up a Chippy (The Satelite) in Kilmorey St.

In the football players picture, it's not Robert McLoughlan. I can't remember his Christian name, but I think it's one of the McCartans from John Martin Gardens.

The picture of the Abbey team with Austin has one name wrong. The Fitzpatrick is my late cousin Tommy and not me. Those guys are a little bit older than me although I did play against most of them when I was playing for the Bosco.
