Salute to Cavan on Jill's birthday!

Here is an Irish-themed post in honor of JILL'S BIRTHDAY.
I have just been reading about County CAVAN in my ROUGH GUIDE TO IRELAND book.
There is a mention of one of the county's greatest sporting moments -- the 1947 ALL-IRELAND GAELIC FOOTBALL FINAL, held at the POLO GROUNDS in NEW YORK CITY.
KERRY were favorites in the match, held in America to bring the sport to the thousands of first, second and third-generation Gaels living in the States. Peter Donohue scored eight points from free kicks as Cavan won, 2-11 to 2-7, to earn their third All-Ireland title ("The Breffni Men" have won the title just twice more, in 1948 and 1952).
The New York football final was transmitted live back to Ireland by RADIO ÉIREANN and marks the only time since 1913 that the final has been played anywhere but CROKE PARK, DUBLIN.
