39 years ago, on the night before daddy's funeral I stayed with this woman, in the safety of her home, with her brilliant mother. They gave a child solace in a time of great fear.
If ever a woman in this world deserves to be raised up by her 5 sons it's Catherine 🥰

I've sat here through two u17 finals and I'd love any rule maker in the GAA to come here and tell me which of these 60 players they think are ready for senior football next year - because I've not seen one. Nowhere even near ready. These age groups need changed!

My big brother Sean turned 70 last week. As the youngest of nine, I idolised him growing up. He spoiled me, loved & cared for me like a father rather than a brother. Today Callan Kelly wept in the arms of his wee sister Maddison on the whistle, and I thought of my hero Sean Kane

Important to say Dominic lay on the pitch with a badly broken leg for 70 mins waiting on an ambulance - before we were forced to make the judgement call to get him to A&E in the back of a van - & so we fashioned a splint from a hurl so we could move him safely. A team effort👏

I've seen them learn to walk. Learn to run. Learn to play. I've watched out the window at their laughter, the fights, the fun, the tears. I let them use my garden as a shortcut to the pitch. I've seen them loose finals and win finals. 20 years is a blink.

Junior football in Derry will never improve until it is shown the same respect as Intermediate and Senior. 2 umpires instead of 4, no radio for umpires, no radio for linesmen - this is championship and means everything to these players irrespective of grade.
