In time for the Match !<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Bhuaileamar b\u00f3thar luath go leor ar an Satharn, an 31\u00fa d\u2019I\u00fail, agus shroicheamar an Com in am don Chluiche idir Chill Chainnigh agus an Cl\u00e1r. N\u00ed g\u00e1 dhom a r\u00e1, gurbh fhi\u00fa an tairbhe an triobl\u00f3id, ar an \u00f3c\u00e1id \u00e1irithe sin! Ar ais linn ansin go dt\u00ed \u00e1r dteach l\u00f3ist\u00edn \u201cSuan na Mara\u201d, at\u00e1 suite tamall gearr amach \u00f3n gCom.<\/p>

Chomh luath is a chuamar thar tairseach isteach, bh\u00ed a fhios againn go raibh an rogha ceart d\u00e9anta againn, n\u00f3 bh\u00ed an \u00e1it ag cur thar maoil le daoine. Ba ghearr gur leagadh dinn\u00e9ar r\u00edoga os \u00e1r gcomhair amach. N\u00ed br\u00e9ag a r\u00e1, go s\u00e1s\u00f3dh an b\u00e9il\u00ed ceanna sin goile fathaigh, gan tr\u00e1cht in aon chor ar an nduine daonna. N\u00ed call a r\u00e1, gur chodla\u00edomar go s\u00e1mh an o\u00edche sin, \u00e1r gc\u00e9ad o\u00edche riamh ar an gCom.<\/p>

The Trip to Dingle .<\/span><\/h2>

Ar an nDomhnach, tar \u00e9is d\u00fainn Aifreann a \u00e9isteacht i s\u00e9ipeal \u00e1lainn an bhaile, thugamar aghaidh ar an nDaingean, ach in \u00e1it dhul amach ar Bh\u00f3thar an Daingin, is amhlaidh a chuamar amach thar na sl\u00e9ibhte arda \u00fad, a dtugtar Sliabh Mis orthu. Chuaigh chuile sh\u00f3rt ar aghaidh go bre\u00e1 i dtosach, ach de r\u00e9ir mar a chuamar chun tosaigh, is ea ba mh\u00f3 a chuaigh s\u00e9 i bhfeidhm orainn, n\u00e1rbh aon \u201cFreeway\u201d, n\u00f3 \u201cMotorway\u201d ach oiread, a bh\u00ed sa bh\u00f3ithr\u00edn caol, anacair, casta, a roghna\u00edomar. N\u00ed raibh ach rud amh\u00e1in le d\u00e9anamh \u00e1fach, agus b\u2019in treabhadh chun tosaigh, ag s\u00fail go sroichfeadh muid \u00e1it eic\u00ednt, i ndeireadh na d\u00e1la! Chuamar thar an nD\u00fan \u00e1rsa \u00fad, Cathair Con R\u00ed, agus go gearr ina dhiaidh sin, shroicheamar an pointe is airde ar an mb\u00f3thar c\u00e9anna sin, agus go gearr ina dhiaidh sin, fuaireamar an radharc ab ionta\u00ed d\u00e1 bhfaca m\u00e9 fh\u00e9in le mo sh\u00faile cinn, riamh, n\u00f3 i bhfad, i bhfad, th\u00edos f\u00fainn, agus os \u00e1r gcomhair amach d\u00edreach, bh\u00ed radharc \u00e1lainn le f\u00e1il againn ar Bh\u00e1 an Daingin agus \u00ed ag spr\u00e9acharnach faoi sholas geal na gr\u00e9ine bu\u00ed. B\u2019\u00e9igean d\u00fainn an gluaiste\u00e1n a stopadh tamall, leis an radharcra c\u00e9anna sin a \u00f3l isteach, agus a chur i dtaisce i gc\u00f3ifr\u00edn na cuimhne, ionas go mbeadh f\u00e1il againn air, amach anseo, nuair a bheadh gruamacht agus gr\u00e1ice an Gheimhridh d\u00e1r gcr\u00e1. Leanamar linn ar aghaidh tr\u00ed Abhainn na Sc\u00e1il, Lios P\u00f3il, agus ar deireadh thiar, shroicheamar baile dosh\u00e1raithe an Daingin fh\u00e9in. Smaoinigh m\u00e9 ansin ar Pheig bhocht Sayers, agus \u00ed ag cur s\u00edos ar thithe m\u00f3ra, arda, an bhaile sin, agus ar L\u00e1 an Aonaigh, nuair a bh\u00ed na sr\u00e1ideanna dubh le daoine. C\u00e9ard d\u00e9arfadh an cr\u00e9at\u00far d\u00e1 mbeadh radharc le f\u00e1il aice anois ar na sr\u00e1ideanna c\u00e9anna sin, arsa mise liom fh\u00e9in, n\u00f3 n\u00edor bhr\u00e9ag ar bith a r\u00e1, go raibh na sr\u00e1ideanna c\u00e9anna sin pl\u00f3daithe le daoine \u00f3 cheithre hairde an tsaoil mh\u00f3ir, agus a sc\u00e9al fh\u00e9in, sea mh\u2019anam, agus a theanga fh\u00e9in freisin, ag chuile dhuine acu.<\/p>

On Board the Jeannie Johnston .<\/span><\/h2>

Ar deireadh, thugamar faoi deara go raibh an-bhr\u00fa daoine th\u00edos bealach na c\u00e9. C\u00e9ard a bh\u00ed \u00e1 dtarraingt uilig sa treo sin? ad\u00faramar linn fh\u00e9in. Ba gherar go raibh freagra na ceiste sin le f\u00e1il againn, n\u00f3 th\u00edos ansin, feistithe agus ar ancaire, bh\u00ed an \u201cJeannie Johnston\u201d, macasamhail na loinge \u00fad a d\u2019iompar na m\u00edlte siar go Meirice\u00e1 agus go Ceanada, thart ar aimsir an Ghora Mh\u00f3ir, sea, agus bh\u00ed na c\u00e9adta ina scuaine mh\u00f3r, fhada, ruballach, ansin, ag s\u00edneadh siar \u00f3n long sin, agus iad ag fanacht, ar a seal, le dul ar bord, go bhfeicfid\u00eds an cine\u00e1l loinge a d\u2019iompar na m\u00edlte sin uilig. Shocra\u00edomar fh\u00e9in gur mhaith linn dul ar bord. Fuaireamar ticeid agus chuamar isteach ag deireadh na scuaine, agus d\u2019fhanamar ar \u00e1r seal. Chuamar ar bord, ar ball, agus caithfidh m\u00e9 a admh\u00e1il, gur bheag n\u00e1r bhain an radharc istigh deoir asainn. Chonaiceamar an ch\u00fainge agus an doircheacht inar mhair na himircigh bhochta sin, ar feadh breis is s\u00e9 seachtaine, ar a dturas chun an domhain \u00fair, sea, agus gan m\u00f3r\u00e1n acu, i bhfoirm bia n\u00f3 d\u00ed, fan an aistir fhada ch\u00e9anna sin. Ach, thuigeamar, ag an am gc\u00e9anna, n\u00e1rbh aon \u201cCoffin Ship\u201d \u00ed an Jeannie Johnston c\u00e9anna sin, n\u00f3 n\u00edor cailleadh oiread is duine amh\u00e1in, ar bord na loinge sin, ar a turasanna fada \u00f3 Chiarra\u00ed go dt\u00ed an domhan \u00far. Chonaiceamar na leapacha loinge agus daoine br\u00e9ige iontu, agus a sc\u00e9al \u00e1 r\u00edomh d\u00fainn ag gleas taifeadta ar bord. Caithfidh m\u00e9 a admh\u00e1il go ndeachaigh an chuairt \u00fad, ar an Jeannie Johnston, i bhfeidhm go m\u00f3r orainn, agus n\u00ed d\u00f3igh liom, go nd\u00e9anfaimid dearmad uirthi go luath. Ar ball, chuamar abhaile, agus n\u00ed g\u00e1 a r\u00e1 gur chaitheamar seal an o\u00edche sin ag cur sc\u00e9al an Jeannie Johnston tr\u00ed ch\u00e9ile. <\/p>
