    Default Very proud

    Kerry GAA has a lot to be proud of in the past but this exert taken from the Tyrone GAA newsletter shows us what sport really is all about. After a fiercely contested game in Killarney this happened :-

    Tyrone GAA
    One GAA Family United in Respect

    Long after the thousands had left Fitzgerald Stadium last Saturday evening our Tyrone team was getting ready for a bitter journey home. Around 500 Kerry people remained outside the changing area – men and women, old and young. As our people started to board their coach a ripple of applause met them. That ripple grew and grew and for long minute after long minute just went on and on and on.

    When Mickey Harte appeared, a cheer of support went up. As the coach headed down through Killarney hundreds on the pavements took over where the others left off, warmly applauding Tyrone. There is no doubt that Ireland lost a lot and took a lot of wrong turns in the last few years. But if you wanted your faith in decency, respect, honour and dignity restored, then Killarney at about eight o’clock last Saturday evening was the place to be.

    Inspirational. Unforgettable. Classy.

    Everyone saw on Saturday how much it meant to Kerry to beat Tyrone. But what happened after put sport in perspective. We all love sport but its great to see human nature shine through.
