Turas Siar 349 - Caitlín: An t-imreoir is fearr.

duit.

to you

Chuir mé ceist ar Seán faoin t-imreoir is fearr a bhí agam riamh, dar leis, agus an freagra a fuair mé ar ais uaidh ná gur inis sé dhom gur Kerr Higgins a d'imir, gur fuair Maigh Eo an t-imreoir is fearr a bhí a bhí ann, dar leis, go raibh sé in ann imirt ar áit ar bith ar an pháirc agus go raibh sé mar imreoir den chéad scoth i gcónaí agus chomh maith leis bhí sé mar imreoir iománaíocht iontach chomh maith agus tar éis seo chuir mé an cheist ar mo dheartháir Séamas Ó Murchú agus d'inis Séamas dom gurb é an cluiche ceannais na hÉireann 2016 idir Maigh Eo agus Baile Átha Cliath an cluiche is fearr a bhfaca sé riamh, cluiche dochreidte a bhí ann agus ní raibh dúirt siad liom ach cúpla soicind fágtha agus bhí Baile Átha Cliath buachaint le pointe amháin agus chiceáil David Clarke an liathróid amach. Fuair Tom Parsons é anall go Cillian O'Connor agus chuir an laochra seo an liathróid thall an traslo, bhí ann.

I asked Seán about the best player I ever had, according to him, and the answer I got back from him was that he told me that Kerr Higgins played, that Mayo had the best player there ever was, according to him, that he was able to play anywhere on the field and that he was always a top-class player and as well as that he was also an excellent hurler and after this I asked my brother Séamas Ó Murchú and Séamas told me that the 2016 All-Ireland final between Mayo and Dublin was the best game he ever saw, it was an incredible game and they told me there were only a few seconds left and Dublin were winning by one point and David Clarke kicked the ball out. Tom Parsons got it over to Cillian O'Connor and these heroes sent the ball over the crossbar, it was...

Maigh Eo

Mayo.

Chuir mé an cheist ansin ar cén t-imreoir is fearr a bhí agam riamh, dar leis, agus dúirt sé go raibh an t-ádh linn anseo i Maigh Eo mar le na blianta anuas tá a lán imreoir iontach feicthe againn agus go raibh sé fíor-deacair mar sin imreoir amháin a phiocadh amach agus gur phioc sé triúr a sheas amach leo fhéin i gcónaí sé Willie Joe, Paddy Kieran McDonald agus Kate Higgins ach é sin ráite dúirt sé liom go raibh pictiúr iontach crochta ina haghaidh aige ina halla a tógadh é i naoi déag ochtó cúig i rith cluiche leathcheannais na hÉireann agus is pictiúr iontach é a thaispeánann Willie Joe fáil an lámh in uachtar ar imreoir Baile Átha Cliath, Brian M.

I then asked him the question about who was the best player he ever had, according to him, and he said that we are lucky here in Mayo because over the years we have seen many great players and that it was therefore very difficult to pick out just one player and that he picked three who always stood out for him: Willie Joe, Paddy Kieran McDonald, and Kate Higgins. But that said, he told me that he has a wonderful picture hanging in his hall that was taken in 1985 during an All-Ireland semi-final match and it is a wonderful picture that shows Willie Joe getting the upper hand over a Dublin player, Brian M.

Anois chuir mé an cheist chéanna ar a mhac Fionnán, d'inis Fionn, d'inis Fionnán dhom gurb é an cluiche 2019. Nuair a d'imir Maigh Eo i gcoinne Ciarraí sa cluiche ceannais an sraith agus an scór a bhí ann ná trí haon dhéag go Maigh Eo dó déag go Ciarraí agus dúirt sé liom gur cluiche dochreidte a bhí ann agus d'iarr mé ansin ar cén t-imreoir is fearr a bhfaca sé riamh agus dúirt seisean dúirt sé liom gur Cillian O'Connor agus dúirt mé leis go gcaithfinn aontú leis mar is laochra láidir neamheaglach é gan dabht ar bith agus ansin chuir mé ceist ar Chaitlín Uí Mhurchú, iníon Séamas, agus dúirt sí: Dúirt Caitlín liom gurb é cluiche ceannais iománaíochta na hÉireann i 2017 an cluiche is fearr a bhfaca sí riamh agus bhí Gaillimh ag imirt i gcoinne Loch Garman agus bhuaigh Gaillimh an cluiche cluiche agus an scór a bhí ann sa deireadh nó

Now I asked the same question to his son Fionnán, Fionnán told me that it was the 2019 match. When Mayo played against Kerry in the league final and the score was thirteen to Mayo, twelve to Kerry, and he told me it was an incredible match and then I asked him who was the best player he had ever seen and he said, he told me it was Cillian O'Connor and I told him I would have to agree with him because he is a strong, fearless hero without a doubt and then I asked Caitlín Uí Mhurchú, Séamas's daughter, and she said: Caitlín told me that the 2017 All-Ireland hurling final was the best match she had ever seen and Galway were playing against Wexford and Galway won the match and the score at the end was.
