<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A small archway was erected as the entrance to the park. It had an inscribed plaque with decorative limestone surrounds. A dispute arose about the inscription on the plaque. Mrs. Gibbons, found the inscription on the tablet objectionable. She asked that the plaque on the arch be removed or she would take legal action. She took issue with the fact that the inscription included the name of the executor of the late Captain Gibbon's will and his beneficiaries. </span><br />

On entering the Mahon Valley, you will cross over a cattle grid and head down a small slope known as the Magic Road. The "Fairy Tree" is a few yards from the road. Stopping at the "Fairy Tree" if you turn off the engine of your car, it will travel backwards up the hill with no power. MAGIC!<br />

There are two forms of horse racing. Flat racing and jump racing.<br />
<br />
In Ireland racing is governed by the Turf Club, founded in 1790. The Turf Club makes the rules and enforces them.<br />
<br />
My first introduction to the thrill of Dungarvan's Equestrian racing tradition was in 1977 when Tommy Carberry, an Irish jockey, though not from Dungarvan, rode Meladon across the finish line on Cheltenahem's Gold Cup Day. Meladon was owned by the Flynn family, proprietors of the <a href="http://www.flynnhotels.com/Park_Hotel_Waterford/Welcome">Park Hotel, Dungarvan</a>. What a day that was. The whole town revelled in that win. Even those who did not have the good sense to place a bet.......ahem!<br />

Ireland is noted for its horse breeding and training. John Kiely, Dungarvan trainer, is a quiet reserved man who shuns the spotlight. After 20 years mastering his trade, he began his career as a trainer in 1974. In racing circles he has earned the reputation as one of the shrewdest trainers in Ireland. He has trained many talented horses, Liss a Paoraigh and Blazing Bliss among them, for both the flat and jump.<br />

<br />
Dun Garbhan Irish pronunciation of Dungarvan meaning Fort of Garbhan. Named for St. Garbhan who founded a church here in the 7th century, the town was settled in the 3rd century by a tribe called the Deise. People from the Dungarvan area still refer to the area as the Deise (pronounced day-sha). At matches the roar of "UP THE DEISE" echoes across the field.<br />

Da’ Bridge is single span, and bridges the Colligan River. It
links the town of Dungarvan to the village of Abbeyside. The bridge was financed by the 5th and 6th Dukes of Devonshire and constructed with sandstone imported from England. Hence the name. </div>

In this grassy area, Abbeyside boys hid and fired stones at the Dungarvan boys (Townies) attempting to cross the bridge to date Abbeyside girls. They weren't very unsuccessful in their efforts. My mother was an Abbeysider. My father was a "Townie". </div>

In the early fifties a favorite spot for members of the

participated in. I wonder if my grandparents were aware of this dare devilish
