Heartwarming stuff. Well done to all concerned.

And good to see pictures of my 'alma mater', which is in Co Armagh incidentally, in the background and therefore fully supporting this initiative.................

I witnessed both events involving people with disabilities at half time in both Senior semi finals at Clnes and Casement and it was truly heartwarming. Seeing them wave to the crowd as the left the pitch, as if they were superstars (which in many ways they are) was truly heartwarming. Long may this continue and may all 9 Ulster counties get involved in this

Seen that game at Clones, they played a Go Games type of game, all seemed to have a good grasp of basic skill and some great celebrations for scores. The players got a great ovation, community development at its best.

i seriously hope there will not be GAA for all.in south county dublin we want nothing to do with your horrid country sports.
the fact that a former rock boy is prostituting himself to the working class team of dublin is enough shame for anyone to take.

South County Dublin you mean crumlin and dolphins bar? Sure they are strong GAA areas :P
Anyway, long story short... is a phrase whose origins are complicated and rambling.

Ah yes - the empty windswept pitches of Kilmacud Crokes, Ballyboden St. Enda's, Ballinteer St. John's, Cuala, Kevins in Crumlin, St. Marks adout in Tallaght whereas there is always traffic mayhem on the Stradbrook Rd and of course Wesley is quite famous for its thriving underage scene - esp on a Frinday night.

Go back under your 'Rock' clown  >:(

That is a fabulous story, I am delighted to see the GAA in Down doing wonderful work with disabled athletes and this story has made my day.
Armagh, the one true love of a mans life.

Sorry - that Dublin numpty distracted me.

Great work there to the Down boys and fair play.
