Thanks Barney. This is REAL. I'm not sure everything is. I am either very intuitive or very paranoid. My brother Maurice could tell me.
If I am paranoid, he is completely trustworthy.

Barney - Barry Hearn. But never mind that; I just now enjoyed some November 2006 posts, mentioning the Logues, Patsy and Billy, priests Mulholland and MacCauley, and lots more people I knew.

think all the logues dead now, patsy has never been heard of this long many a day now around 40/50 years

I know that I will probably have outlived most of those I remember from childhood, and that most of them, like myself, did little of note. I also know that talking to myself here is daft. But I hope that one day someone will spot a comment here and will catch a glimpse of the simple life of a forgotten relative.
Patsy Logue, for example, was never going to win many prizes for reading and writing. He used to mitch school to go searching for golf balls; and, years later, when he returned from England, a failed jockey, he stood in the bookies and reminded us that very few could say, as he could, that they had jumped the second last alongside the great Tim Maloney. We listened agog, like he was Cool Hand Luke.

I may be confusing Patsy Logue with someone else but I seem to remember a hairdresser named Logue, not Eddie who had a saloon in Bridge St. working in a saloon in Grand St, Lowroad after returning from " across the scheugh " and later in Bridge St. That is over 50 years ago so my old mind may be playing tricks with me.

Patsy, Billy and Arthur are names from the same family. I think, but am not sure, they may have been related to Pat and Leo McCaugherty uf Antrim Place. I sincerely hope they never got involved in The Troubles. Danny was only a nine stoner, but was a heavy drinker who was reputedly willing to pull on the gloves with much bigger cops at the station when arrested.

may refresh your memory this

Yes Barney, I remember Bobby Morrow, and the fine chaser Galloway Braes.
As for Fred Rimell, I felt like I knew him. as well as all the trainers and jockeys of Britain and Treland.

It´s a different family then, the Logues I remember lived in Tullynacross, Eddie owned a hairdressers in Bridge St, Patsy Dornan from Hilden worked there. Later another brother returned from England and either opened or worked in a hairdressers in Grand. St.

Patsy and Sally Dornan lived in or near Gregg Street with their girls. A baby boy was still born in the fifties. They managed to have him baptized - Patrick Joseph. I worked in the Island Mill with the mum. She was very kind to me.
I enjoyed a drink with Pat and Sally in a Bridge Street pub. He was quite a good singer. Bobby Robinson was an outstanding singer. He sounded very much like Ronnie Hilton, and I used to wonder that he was never 'spotted'.

There is a Lisburn connection to the National.
Robert (Bert) Morrow from the Co Down rode in five Nationals.
1953
He rode Whispering Steel @ 9-1 but was brought down at the 1st jump.
1954
rode the same horse @50-1 and fell at the 8th jump
1956
He rode Must @7-1 and fell at the 1st jump
1957
He rode Four Ten and fell at the 28th jump only 2 more to go and he would have finished.
1958
He rode Must again and fell @ 6th.
I seem to remember him bieng driven around the town on the back o a lorry, maybe someone could verify this.
I am playing golf with his brother Billy tomorrow at the course inside the Maze racetrack.
Beano will know the Morrow family well.

You have added much to my knowledge, and reawakened my interest in sports I enjoyed long ago. Thanks!

Danny Logue was a close friend, albeit a drunken one, of our family.
