- I am now writing of forty seven years ago when there was a hurling match at Clonturk Park in Dublin between the Kerry and the Wexford team in which Kerry won the match with their bare feet. That day was a day of great rejoicing for all the Dublin people as there were several people from Kerry working in positions there. The match started about one o'clock on Sunday.
