Mattmc1973 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I'm Irish, by way of Michigan! I know I'm Scottish and Irish, but don't know much about my family tree past my grandparents (all of whom were born in the U.S.). My maternal grandmother's maiden name was Trimble. And of course, I have a Mc last name, hence "Mattmc1973" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was varified by countless interviews of the other players and long nights reading the "Gaelic Sports Times". I was very persistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I never got the hang of camogie or gaelic fottball, though I was on the school camogie team in 6th class. Was a great back because the ball kept hitting off me for some reason!

I was a full forward I'm not very good at camogie... There wasn't much chance to play anyway...the men would get together for a hurling match, unofficially, but the girls never wanted to play in our own matches I think they see it as too dangerous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
