Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Frances Cushon is on the line. Frances, we're not talking about kind of clowns or the cost of living here. We're talking about something much more important, which is Kilkenny hurling. So you were in Semple Stadium recently. Is that right?
That's right. We went down to the last league match there against Tipperary. Myself and my friend, we go to all the Kilkenny matches. Anything we can. We travel the country after Kilkenny.
Are you going to Galway this Saturday?
Chapter 2: What important event happened at Semple Stadium?
We are. We are. Sharing the cost.
Good on you. Good on you. So what happened in Semple Stadium?
In Semple Stadium, we always try and sit near one of the goals. So we sat near the goal that Kilkenny were playing into in the first half. And there was a load of little kids around tapping the ball over and back and whatever. So that was grand for the second half. Then we said we'd go down to the other goal. Kilkenny would be playing into that goal. Sorry, Frances.
I know you're in the middle of your story. But do you always do that? Switch from one end to the other?
Yeah.
Not always, but when we go into Nolan Park, we always sit behind the goal in the locking end. We always sit right behind the goal, rain or shine. There's always two old ones sitting there behind the goal.

Chapter 3: How does Frances describe her experience at the match?
Well, I know who you are then when I look down that way the next time. I'm always sitting to your right over in the longer stand.
Oh, right.
Yeah. So, you're there in Semple Stadium. You move at halftime from one end to the other. And then what?
My name was called out over the intercom. So, I immediately panicked. I thought, oh, God, something's wrong. It seemed to take forever to get to the control station. So, we got there anyway. And when I got there, there was one of the guards standing up with my purse in his hand. I never even missed it. It had fallen out of my bag at some point. When we moved. And I never even missed it.
And wouldn't have missed it until the next day. But opened up the purse. Everything was in it. There was only about 30 or 40 euro cash. But there wasn't a thing missing out of it. Everything was in it.
All the cards, everything else.
Everything was in it. Everything I had was in it. I don't even know if whoever handed it in opened it. But they told me it was about three or four young chaps handed it in. Now, they could have taken that cash and that purse would have been gone. And like I said, I would never have known. But yeah, they handed it in and I got it all back.
And do you know who they are, the young lads?
I don't know who they are. I don't know who they are. I emailed Tipperary County Board and I tried to reach out over Instagram, but I didn't get any replies. I haven't a clue who the chaps are. I'm not even sure if they are Tipperary chaps. I think they are. I'm not 100% sure. But the way the guards are talking, it seemed that they were. So I just wanted to say thanks to him.

Chapter 4: What unexpected situation did Frances encounter during the game?
I'd say they have a lot more fight in them anyway.
Yeah.
Chapter 5: How did Frances react when her name was called over the intercom?
They showed up against Tipperary so, you know, we just want them to show up.
Yeah. Well, if you see me there, Frances, say hello. I'll be there. I'll be in the midst of about 25 under 12 hurlers. So actually, the best thing you could probably do is if you haven't, you and your friend haven't decided where to sit, look where we are and sit at the absolute opposite end of the ground if you want a bit of peace and quiet, I suspect.
So, listen, enjoy the weekend and enjoy Salt Hill. And like I say, 51551, get in touch, buy text. If you know anything about that purse handed in, it's a lovely story that it was handed back in, everything intact by those young lads. Frances says it restores her faith in humanity and she just wants to say thank you in person. Back in a moment.
