MACKEY & RING

I did indeed have a read! Just finished reading this thoughtful, evocative and thoroughly enjoyable book this morning. An illuminating account of the careers of Mackey and Ring extending beyond their individual stories, exploring the wider social and political context. Excellent
A lovely write-up on MACKEY & RING in today's @IrishTimes - thank you very much @MalachyClerkin

A lengthy piece here on Development Squads. We found a huge divergence in how useful and effective they are even in big counties, and yet excellent in others.

He was at the Munster semi-final in 1957 when this famous Ring & Mackey shot was taken and just gave me a blow-by-blow account of the game over the phone.
