There was a spoof speech printed (in letters page I think?) of an early Gaelic life..............all blood and thunder about dying for the parish, blood being shed, bones broken etc etc with the payoff being it was delivered to the u-14 hurling team.

Does anyone remember it or have a copy of the article?

If you make yourself understood, you're always speaking well. Moliere

Pietas

the words 'play' and 'senior' have a rather different meaning in roscommon than the rest of the country ;D
In Roman mythology, Pietas was the goddess of duty to one's state, gods and family.
