EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 6th of June 1973. The image captures the legendary Willie John McBride, renowned for his exceptional skills in both Irish and British Lions rugby teams. Standing tall in the back row, he exudes confidence and determination that made him a force to be reckoned with on the field. Flanking McBride on either side are two remarkable women who played pivotal roles in launching the Kilkeel Harbour Festival - Barbara Montgomery and Sue Martin. Their presence alongside such an esteemed sportsman demonstrates their shared passion for promoting community events that bring people together. McBride's infectious smile radiates joy as he holds a tankard trophy, symbolizing his numerous victories throughout his illustrious career. This portrait encapsulates not only his athletic prowess but also showcases his warm personality off the pitch. The photograph is a testament to McBride's international success as well as a celebration of teamwork and camaraderie within rugby union. It serves as a reminder of how sport has the power to unite individuals from different backgrounds, fostering friendships that last beyond competitive matches. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate the dedication and skill displayed by Willie John McBride while acknowledging those who supported him along his journey towards greatness.
