Nicky Virachkul and Stefan Lord the other two?

[aaronizneez]

Drone you are correct that Virachkul and Stefan Lord are two, both in the inaugural 1978 championship. Lord also reached the semi in 1982. However John Part is not the other one as he won in 1994 after the break up.

One word intimately connects

Mary de Bohun
Catherine de Valois
Margaret of Anjou
Elizabeth of York

They are the queens of the four Lancastrian kings – Henrys IV V VI VII

Elizabeth of York as her name suggests was of the Yorkist lineage and her marriage to Henry VII finally put an end to the Wars of the Roses by uniting the ‘red’ and the ‘white’

[thehorsesmouth]

Right then, the Cats were stopped on the road to 5 in a row today, but can anyone remember who scored the last minute goal that bagged a famous win against Kilkenny for Wexford in the 2004 Leinster Hurling semi-final?
