St. Anne’s by the book

ATRIP to a book store is inevitable for most shoppers in the lead-up to Christmas, and there’s usually something to suit all tastes. The ‘Seen and Heard’ team are of the opinion that dedicated voluntary effort from people in the locality should always be commended.

And in that regard, browsers won’t find a more suitable book than ‘October

2000’, the weighty history of St. Anne’s

G.A.A. Club that was penned with loving care and attention to detail earlier this year by one of its best-known sons,

Jim Berry.

The title refers to the greatest month in an illustrious history when the Wexford District outfit completed a sensational double of Senior championship titles.

However, there’s so much more to get through in this fine publication, and it’s important to stress that an involvement with St. Anne’s or an attachment to the parish isn’t a pre-requisite to enjoy this book.

On the contrary, if you’re a G.A.A. fan from any part of the county, there’s a strong chance that you will relate to the contents and also read about people you know, because detailed accounts are given of the hundreds of games played by St. Anne’s teams over the years.

Our writers have reviewed a lot of books from various sporting genres, and this is one we would highly recommend.

Don’t leave it behind you when you spot it on a bookshelf over the next couple of weeks!
