No one does Bric A Brac like Bennettsbridge does Bric a Brac

On Sunday, from around 2.10 - 5.10, I attended the world renowned Bennettsbridge field day. If you haven't heard of it, well wow. That's awkward. Someone's been well and truly kicked out of their loop!


Basically, I got a pleading message off of this wan (ain't she gawjus?) telling me to get me arse over there. So I did.


Now for those of you unfamiliar with rural South-Eastern field days all must contain at least 5 of the following


  • Under 3s hurling matches (all players must have oversized matching gaa gear, doting parents and wishes to annhilate the opposition)
  • Bric a Brac (eg. the most hideous lamps you've ever seen, ditto mirrors, candle holders, clocks, useless kitchen implements - however, somehow among all this dismal clutter, we managed to find a miniature hurl with the words "KOME ON DA KATZ" emblazoned on both sides. It was quite simply stunning, and only 50c!)
  • Mice in a plyboard circle with numbered holes around the outside. This kind of gambling is almost as good as spending a tenner on penny pushers in Tramore.
  • U8, U10, U12 and U50 three legged races. Time of event not specified anywhere.
  • Sponges, plyboard with cut out faces. Nuff said.
  • Burgers. With onions. And cheese. And mayonaise. And ketchup. And salad. And have some more onions, ah yeah. Ah go on. 
  • Soft toys that you yourself donated when you were in primary school. The very same purple (now a bit of an off white) duck with the yellow bow. And that demon eyed rabbit.
So's y'all know your way there next June!
AH GWAAAAAAN YOU'LL HAVE SOME MORE ONIONS WONTCHA
Apologies for lack of original photos, we were having too much fun. Also, neither of us had a camera.
