Great day of match with North Monastery. Got a half-day, did some work, and walked to match. My place, left wing forward, was ably filled by Paddie Sullivan. I was delighted I was not put on the team as I would only have made a mess of it as usual. At half time the score was 1 point – 2 goals to North Mon. so we all felt extremely despondent. After a terribly exciting tussle, and wonderful play by our lads we won by 2 points. Mighty rejoicing and cheering. We have only to beat Pres now for final. John Cotterell was at the match, also his sister. He is a veritable giant now, 6 ft 4. – Dr. Frend came this evening, and there was a great discussion about Coué’s book. Dr. Frend will be kind enough to act as hypnotist to Mám.
