This was the home alley of the mighty John Joe Gilmartin who was an outstanding hardball player. He was also good at softball and was the first player to win all four senior All-Ireland titles. John Ryan of Wexford was the only other player to achieve this honour when he won all four titles in 1957.
Ducksie, RIP. Lots of love.....
