"Even if we completely revamped the booking procedure we're never going to be able to cater for the huge demand that is out there, unless we develop double the number of facilities that we have. That's the conundrum we're always faced with; whatever your criteria are there are not enough hours in the day and there are not enough pitches available for teams to book.”

It’s believed the summer solstice, or grianstad an tsamhraidh, falling on June 21, under the current Gregorian calendar, is likely to have been celebrated in pre-Christian Ireland as a festival of the sun. More recently these celebrations became conflated with the Christian feast of St. John the Baptist which falls on June 24. It was a time when bonfires blazed on every hillside, music and dancing resounded after the fair day, torchlit processions were held, and uncanny rites and blessings were invoked to protect barley and beast from the ill-will of the fairies and the evil one.
