What could be more quintessentially Irish than seeing a game of Cricket in county Kerry?
Is there a more stunning backdrop/vista of Tralee Bay in the background?
We drove from Tralee to Fenit on Saturday afternoon and passed through the village of Spa. We couldn't believe our eyes. A game of Cricket was being played at Kerry Cricket club.
It was a magical sight and that great Manchester band 10CC song started playing on my mental jukebox:
I didn't think cricket would be that popular in Ireland. Good to know.
ReplyDeleteI loved that 10CC song. I used to sing along to it every time it came on the radio.
I was amazed nay gobsmacked JayCee when I viewed probably the most beautiful Cricket ground I have ever seen. Yes it's a very catchy song.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful location for a cricket ground - as long as a tsunami wave does not come tearing up the shore. The captain of England's one day team is an Irishman - Eoin Morgan.
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed YP. I would have happily played for Ireland or England if I was in a brass band.😊
ReplyDeleteBlowing your own trumpet again?
Delete"Haha"😊.
DeleteI love 10CC. I saw them at Newcastle City Hall. 1978 Tour. I'm not In Love. I used to watch one day cricket then too. It was good to know that it had an ending time.
ReplyDeleteGreat band and a great concert venue Rachel. I remember you writing about your Newcastle gigs and memories when you lived in Newcastle. One day cricket attracts the punters and they enjoy watching the big hitters. Thanks!
