Property Management
A young prisoner found himself sharing a cell with an older man who had spent much
of his life behind bars. One day they started discussing their respective pasts. “Look at
me” said the older man “I’m old and worn out now, but believe it or not I used to live
the life of Riley. I stayed in the smartest hotels on the French Riviera, ate at the finest
restaurants. I had a yacht, fast cars and beautiful women” “What happened?” asked
his young cellmate. “One day Riley reported his credit cards missing”.

Blast From The Past
Barry Howell was an athletic number 8 and a great line out option for Cork Con and Highfield.
What are your memories of your early rugby career?
I began rugby in P.B.C winning the under-twelve cup with Brother Lesalle in charge. This team continued
winning the under-fourteen cup additionally, prominent players included Ken O’Connell, Charlie Halley, Sean
Carey and John Carroll. I captained the Junior Cup team to victory in 1985 beating Crescent Comp in the final
in Musgrave Park. We continued our success winning the Bowen Shield. This team won 35 matches at senior
level before being beaten by an intimidating St. Clements 3-0 at Musgrave Park. However, Sean Carey and I
missed this game due to injury.
When did you get your first senior break?
My first senior game was in December 1985 for Highfield against Old Christians, this Highfield team included
Patsy Horgan and Paul Collins. Coincidently, that year we won the under-twenty cup beating Clonakility in the
final and a star studded UCC team in the semi’s, Tom Desmond was coach.
What were the highlights of your playing career?
I was selected for three full seasons for Munster U20 becoming the most capped player at this level, a record I
still hold. Aged 21, I was selected for combined provinces and I transferred to play with Cork Con. I won the
senior cup in 1989 with Donal Lenihan, Michael Bradley, Ralph Keyes and Kenny Murphy forming the
backbone of that successful team. We defeated Shannon with a last minute kick by Kenny Murphy to win 1110 and stop Shannon winning four in a row. In 1991, I won the first All-Ireland league with Con but missed the
crunch game against Garryowen which was disappointing. I went on to win a junior cup in 1995 replacing
Victor Donnelly for the final against Shannon (We won 13-7 in a replayed game).
Who was your most difficult opponent and who did you enjoy playing with?
Niall O’Donovan of Shannon was my most difficult opponent whose aggression and physical strength made
him very difficult to play with. Pat O’Hara who joined Con from Sundays Well was extremely hard and Michael
Bradley was superb to play with.
Have you been involved in the game since you stopped playing?
I recently got back involed coaching with Pres Under-fourteen after a short stint with Cork Con Under-Twenty.
I intend to concentrate in helping to develop younger players for the future.
Gaelic View
The last few weeks resulted in disappointment for both Cork Inter-county teams. Cork footballers suffered a
one point defeat to Mayo in their final league game which resulted in failure to qualify for the league semifinal. Cork hurlers were relegated to Division 1B after an incredible sequence of results in the final weekend.
The hurlers played Clare in a play-off last Sunday and lost out 0-31 to 2-23 after extra-time. I look forward to a
UCC Gaelic footballer’s reunion in Rochestown Park Hotel (probably the best UCC Sigerson team ever). The
1988 team will be holding their 25th year anniversary. I will never forget Morris Fitzgerald scoring 1-17 from
UCC’s aggregate score of 1-24 which was an early indication that he would become the greatest footballer of
his generation. “Ní bheidh an leithéidí ann arís ”
