Virg n' Mary: Cork 0-12-Tipperary 0-4 Rebels Win Their 22nd Title

Handling "On The Virg" and this one became too much, so me lovely wife Mary is now Helping.

: Name: Virgil

I'm the one on the right. Snoddy (It's Sno"ddy" not "tty.") is a Scottish name with an interesting history. Fergus served with Bruce and Wallace. He was taken prisoner and escaped during a snowstorm. To avoid recognition, he called himself "Snowday" in honor of his escape. "w" and "y" were not yet in the alphabet so it was "Snoda" which soon became "Snode" and later into Snody and Snoddy. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer, he changed his name back to Fergus sometime after Bannockburn. Sure enough, some 300 years later, Charles I declared that all Protestants should be killed. Fergus was again captured and sentenced to die the "day after tomorrow." He again escaped during a severe snow storm. This time, he fled to Ireland and again in memory of the day he escaped, he called himself in broad Scot - "Snow Day", which we have made "Snoddy" meaning "a snow day." He didn’t change it back this time.

"ANOTHER shot at a successive 'Rebel Treble' may be gone but Cork's double dream is still very much alive for seven of their women after their stunning and comprehensive Gala camogie title defence in Croke Park yesterday.
Dynasties come and go in every sport and the reigning champions' assured display, which astonishingly contained Tipperary to just a single point in the second half - and then only in injury-time - indicated that the Rebelettes, winning their 22nd title, are set to be camogie's new standard-bearers."
