I just saw a picture of the alley in Rathduff Balla, and I was shocked at it's condition, with bushes growing up in it. I remember back in the 60's watching Tom Derrig play there and he was one of the greatest in Ireland. It's a shame that the local people don't take care of it. I was also wondering what happened to the alley in the Town of Balla.
