As of early January and right through summer, I was very lucky to receive the opportunity to play for both U16 county gaelic football and camogie teams for Galway.

I remember miniature versions of these varnished and sold as souvenirs to spendy tourists, but the shillelagh, Google tells me, was in former times used to settle disputes ‘in a gentlemanly manner’, and modern students of self defence practice its use as a martial art. Which probably says a lot about where we are as a nation when you think about it. But I digress.
