Pat Coughlan

Too Young To Vote Pat Coughlan

Bride View United Football Club was formed in Tallow, Co Waterford in 1972. In this book Pat Coughlan re lives those days in 1972 when seven young people - still too young to vote - made history by forming Bride View United A. F. C. He looks at the Ireland of 1972 and try's to bring back memories of the current affairs, both national and local. He looks at the music and entertainment of the period, and events in the world of sport. But central to this book is the story of the Bride View United A. F. C. The book takes you back to the early days. Follow through the life in Cork Athletic Union League. Relive the hopes and the disappointment of that first County Cup Final, and try to put into words the magic of the year of the Double, promotion to Division 1 and victory in the County Cup. The book also looks at the progress of the Club in the Red House League and the progress of soccer in West Waterford. The book was originally published in 1993 on the 21st anniversary of the club.
