    I don't know if it's correct but The Rower in Wexford might be an option

    Could be Donnybrook - which has come to mean brawl or fight.

  • Correct on all of them so far.

    Only one missing is:

    18. A stormy retreat


  • Registered Users Posts: 613 ✭✭✭ carolmon

  • Correct.

    Now if only elduder would come back with the full list of the country-wide ones.

    Hi All, the Answer was swords. Reasoning behind this I think, Back in the olden days before a fight they would cross swords. So without the cross its just swords.

    Thanks for all your help.
