I wrote some time ago about the naked greed of the Rugby fraternity in fixing an important rugby match for them in Limerick on a good Friday in the hope of maximizing their financial rewards and those of their political and financial groupies.
Professional Rugby has for decades wheeled out Limerick as an example of how this snob game is embraced by the working classes.
Thanks be to God that the Limerick hurling team won the All Ireland Hurling last Sunday and that 90,000 PEOPLE TURNED OUT TO GREET THEM HOME ON MONDAY.
Proof ,if ever proof was ever needed ,of where the true sporting loyalties of ordinary Limerick people lie.
It is in the DNA of all true Gaels and you either have it or not and no amount of nonsense nor money can purchase this loyalty .
And fair dues to the Gaels of Na Piarsaig for successfully promoting our beautiful game of hurling in the huge shadow of overpaid professional sportspeople of Thomond Park.
