    There was a fund raising collection in town yesterday for Tralee Cricket Club, to raise money for their proposed new grounds . For years they played in Tralee RFC, more recently in the Sportsfield . It would be nice to have a permanent home for the Club.:)

    Not a popular game here, Irish protestant, ex English pats, migrants from India, Pakistan & Bangladesh. Not a game you're going to see the ordinary kid in the street playing. Prob doesn't help when Ireland's 2 best players play for England :)

    I see that they have a write up on the brouge in the Kerry's Eye property page. For a property with a €395k sale tag the annual rates bill is €22k! Says it all really, over €400/week just to open the door. Who needs protection rackets when have the local authorities running a legalised shakedown of traders for rates for which they get nothing in return.

    I admire the fact that you managed to get through that without mentioning the whole 800 years of oppression thing. :p

    Yummy, Cafe, Restaurant and Market.

    Seal of approval from the Tralee Boards Coffee and Cake Appreciation Society.

    Met a friend there for coffee this am.

    Extremely impressed, great coffee, great menu two lovely ladies Orla and Aoife.

    Yummy also sell a range of gluten free products fro their Yummy Market.

    Fantastic rural chic decor and children's play area.

    Well worth a visit and don't forget to say hello to Sean the Chef!:)

    Still the influx of "blow ins" like myself , who played cricket, should help swell the numbers interested participating in the game. With the development of a permanent home for Tralee Cricket Club, hopefully interest from local schools may develop.

    Grudge, you were the one who mentioned the word, not me.

    I don't hold grudges.

    It is amusing to me how narrow minded and blinkered some people can be. Small town mentality, I guess.

    The perception some people have of blowins is absolutely amusing to me.

    Roll on the opening of the new Cricket Grounds, the sound of leather on willow while sipping Pimms, on Sunday afternoon ,will add further culture to Tralee.:)

    Was over in the General Hospital last night to visit me young lad. Got there just in time for the Spain v Italy game. We made our way down to the television room and had the place to ourselves,CUSHTY!! Switched on the telly and no bloody channels just a poxy DVD player hooked up to it.

    So if anybody has a spare 'poverty box' they could donate to the Rathass Ward it would be appreciated Im sure. Poor ole bastards must be bored out of their skulls.

    The reception in KGH is awful in some wards. Concrete is too thick, no distributer amps in place, even people who brought in their own tv's had little luck getting a pic. There are some wards where reception is ok, but it's hit & miss, bringing in a saorview box won't solve the problems. afraid

    Yeah thought there might be more to it than just not having an ariel in place. Its a pity,especially for the ones who can actually get about,the days are long enough over there. We actually picked up Wifi over there but none of the nurses knew the code

    That's how the ciggie companies are hooking younger people these days. They can't advertise anymore, so they slip nicotine into the ice cream & such, get them hooked nice & young, next generation of smokers hooked before they're 12, brilliant marketing ploy. Anyone else fancy a Solero & Hedges now?

    Gosh, that is a pity. Thought KGH was relatively modern facility.
    Fortunately have never spent any time in the place. It must be very boring for the patients, no tv& no wifi.
    The Bons is more like hotel accommodation compared with KGH.
