ON a very busy weekend for Dublin, and a most disappointing one for the capital’s football supporters, north of the city the two-day Flavours of Fingal show was staged by the local council at Newbridge House and Farm, Donabate.

Unfortunately, the morning’s rain did little to encourage the less committed to attend on Saturday, but the free buses to the show from surrounding towns kept coming and going all day and there was still a great buzz about the extensive grounds.
