Proposal to head out there on the weekend of the incendiary clash that will be Crossmaglen versus Crokes.
Been to a good few games there but know nothing of the town itself. Good pubs/nightclubs/museums?

There is a fine one on the way into the town, on the right hand side coming into the town from the Dublin direction, a big grey building set back slightly from the road, not sure of the opening hours.

Plenty of decent pubs on Main Street Portlaoise. There`s always a good crowd in Grellan Delaney`s and Coppers late bar is your best bet to finish the night off. Avoid the nightclubs and have a good one!

You`re proboably as well off staying around the Top Square. Some decent pubs and Coppers there also. Peigs, Welcome Inn and Square Bar are all good pubs, it depends on what you`re looking for really. If you`re looking for some GAA chat and nice pints of stout then Peigs is the job....its a big Portlaoise GAA pub. If it`s eye-candy, then Square Bar is the one. You`ll probably end up in Coppers across the road anyway...it`s a late bar and always a good crowd in it. Enjoy.

Why is it that GAA supporters can`t go more than 2 hours without a feed? I was behind a Clare fella going into the Gaelic grounds last year and between backpacks and plastic bags he had more grub on him than Tom Crean had when he was heading off.And between the Greenhills and the Gaelic grounds twas car boots open the whole way and fellas feeding like pigs at a trough.

With only a little chocolate and three biscuits to sustain him, Crean walked the 56km to Hut Point in 18 hours, arriving in a state of collapse. The rescue was successful, however, and Lashly and Evans were both brought to base camp alive and led to Crean receiving the Albert Medal.
