Crosshaven
Crosshaven () is a village in County Cork, Ireland. It is located in lower Cork Harbour at the mouth of the River Owenabue, across from Currabinny Wood. Originally a fishing village, from the 19th century, the economy of the area became more reliant on a growing tourism industry. Name The modern Irish name for Crosshaven village is ''Bun an Tábhairne''. While some sources link the word ''tábhairne'' to the English word "tavern", other sources suggest that it is a corruption of ''"tSabhairne"'' a grammatical form of the word "Sabhrann" the name of a local river. ''Bun'' refers to "river mouth" when in reference to placenames. Therefore, the name is potentially translated to ''"The Mouth of the River Sabhrann"''. The old Irish name for the east side of the village was ''Cros tSeáin'' or "John's Cross", from which the English name derives. John's Cross refers to the Norman castle built around Castle point. History Crosshaven was originally a Viking settlement, part of what was k ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Triple Crown (rugby Union)
In rugby union, the Triple Crown is an honour contested annually by the "Home Nations" – i.e. Ireland, England, Scotland, and Wales who compete within the larger Six Nations Championship. If any one of these teams defeat all three other teams, they win the Triple Crown. The Six Nations Championship also includes France and Italy, but their involvement in the tournament has no influence on the result of the Triple Crown, although it means that the winners of the Triple Crown are not necessarily the winners of the Championship as a whole. England won the first Triple Crown – although the phrase was not in use at the time – in the inaugural 1883 series of the original rugby union Home Nations Championship. The latest winners of the Triple Crown are Ireland, who won it by beating Scotland at the Aviva Stadium in the 2022 Six Nations Championship. Traditionally the Triple Crown was an informal honour with no trophy associated with it. However a trophy now exists, w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
