Motto on Co. Clare crest?

Bard

Can anyone tell me the meaning of the motto on the crest on the County Clare GAA shirt? From what I recall, it's something like "the hundreds go into battle ... <something> <something>"

TIA

Yavvy

Waylander may be the one to tell us that.
Him being of Clare desent.....

I would be very interested to find out

Waylander

Couldn't tell you but I will investigate

appreciated, Waylander- thanks.

i reckon it goes something like.............

the hundreds go into battle to protect the Planet of the apes...

Bard

seriously... I'd like to know what it means

Yavvy

Me too...but lets not get away from the ape thing.
I have always considered people from clare a bit harier than normal people.

Im doing a little research into this bard..Hope to have an answer soon

Yavvy

to prove my point

apologies ill try send you a link and you'll see what i mean. look at wintergreens picture of the evolution of man

tipperary mans theory of evolution

Bard

I guess the part I'm unsure about is "agus na déideanacha as" so...

anyone?

p.s.: Thanks, Alany

Bard

tipp_Gunner... how irrelevant can you get? I was asking for a translation.

So... um... anybody know?

Yavvy

Bard ...I have the answer

first into battle and the last out, Na ceida sa scath agus na deireadh as...


If your interested I was rather impressed with the popularity of the clare hurlers GAA message boards

Bard

Ah thanks Alany... an impressive motto and no mistake

And yeah, - the level of my home county's following has always impressed me... including on the web!

Waylander

Sorry Bard I did try. Alany you should have went down to Ennis in '95 for the party after their first All Ireland win in sixty something years. The whole town shut up shop, except the pubs. It was great craic.

Yavvy

ah you see in 95' We had the legend 4 week celebration

What was that for now ???

impressive motto it is, and sure doesn't every Clare man live by it.
Those scraps outside the Queens in Ennis on a Saturday night can go on for ages. i often walk through the home town and see scraps going on that have been running since the last time i was home.
