I take it that is where Croke Park gets it's name from Dr Croke. Those are definitely great pitches to play on but rather open to the elements being both coastal. I bet the wind blows hard and it would matter which side you play first as there is definitely a game of two halves happening here. Great post and look forward to the others as this is seriously interesting.

Yes, your spot on, Croke park is indeed named after Father Croke, who was a great patron and one of the founders of the association.

I played during the summer and even then the onshore breeze was a major factor. Wintertime would be a different ball game altogether. They are such scenic locations though, oncr you get a chance to appreciate them.
