Tom Cunniffe and Kevin McLoughlin celebrate Mayo's win over Cork. Photo: SportsfileAND then there were five. Who would have thought Mayo, quoted at 33/1 for the All-Ireland not too long ago, would be one of the last five standing in this year’s championship.
Only the brave put the money down on Mayo, who were 5/1, and well done to those, and there were a good few around, who had the courage to back them. I wasn’t one of them.
One thing James Horan must be credited with, that is outside his ability to prepare and motivate a team, is his unwillingness to be embroiled in controversy.
The same, indeed, goes for Cork manager Conor Counihan, who was magnanimous in defeat and wished Mayo well in the semi-final.
Doctor Matt Moran possessed a healing touch. I recall his arrival. The room was dark and I was far from well. Some fever had set residence in my bloodstream or whereever such fevers take residence.
NÍLIM cinnte an bhfuil a fhios ag pobal na tíre i gcoitinne an tabhacht a bhaineann le bratach na tíre. Tá a fhios ag cách gur dath bán, glas agus ór na dathanna atá uirthi ach taobh amuigh de sin níl siad cinnte conas aire agus meas chuí a thabairt dí. Cuireann sé as dom amantaí nuair a fheicim an bhratach ar foluain sa dorchadas agus nuair a fheicim ceann stróichte salach ar foluain.
MY favourite line in all of the Bible is the Ascension promise of Jesus: "I will be with you always, yes until the end of time." How is he with us? Through his Spirit, the Holy Spirit, whose feast we celebrate next weekend at Whit or Pentecost.
