It was one of the best days of my life."Īll-Star goalkeeper Shane Ryan played outfield for Rathmore and had a stormer, scoring 1-03 in a feisty encounter as Rathmore became the seventh Kerry team to win the intermediate club championship. "If you asked me 20 years ago what would be a highlight of your career, irrelevant of playing with Kerry, it would be coming up to Croke Park to play with my club and my community. You'd love to keep playing, but time wise and stuff like that, priorities have to change. "I've a three and a five-year-old a home priorities have changed.

I think I’ll go buy his favorite dessert: a pralines’n’cream ice cream cake.Aidan O'Mahony has completely retired from Gaelic football after helping Rathmore to All-Ireland intermediate glory on what he described as "one of the best days of my life". Tears are running down my face…I’m beside myself with joy! I hardly know what to do with myself. But things might not have turned out this way.

Come, Laurie, promise, and give me one more reason to call this the happiest day of my life.”Īnd in that spirit, my dear readers, out of the fullness of my heart, let me ask something of you, so I have one more reason to call this the happiest day of my life.

Laurie explains, “I don’t care for it but when a pretty girl offers it, one doesn’t like to refuse, you see.” It’s Meg’s wedding day, and she and Laurie start talking about drinking wine.

I was happy on my wedding day, but I was also worried about how the whole day would unfold. I was happy when my two daughters were born, but having a baby is such a tremendous new responsibility I was extremely happy, but also awestruck and slightly terrified.
