PICS: Kilkenny man goes to Coppers, wakes up with county final medal, wants to return it

Carl Kinsella

Great story. Compelling and rich.

JOE HQ was contacted this evening by a man who’s got quite a tale about a night out on the sesh in Coppers and a phantom Dublin county final medal.

The young fellow from Kilkenny hasn’t got what you’d call a clear memory of what happened to him that night in the infamous Harcourt St. nightclub, but he is certain that he did not compete in an intermediate hurling county final, let alone win one.

The young man, who does play hurling himself (he’s from Kilkenny, in case we didn’t already make that clear), woke up with the medal in his pocket on Saturday morning, meaning that whoever misplaced it probably did so between Friday and Saturday.

He’s doing the honourable thing, writing to us ‘in hope of finding the poor soul who lost his/her county final medal during the celebrations.’

So if you lost your Dublin county final medal within the last week in and around the Coppers part of Dublin, make sure to email us at [email protected] or get on to us on our Facebook, and we’ll put you in touch with the man who’s got your silverware.
