Still on the ball

FOR as long as he can remember, Chris Herlihy has been involved with football, and he credits it with keeping him mentally and physically active at 70 years.

Not surprisingly, Herlihy is really looking forward to the Euro 2012 final on Sunday, but he is still very disappointed by Ireland’s performance and lack of “grit.”

“We were never going to win it, but we might have expected to have a chance against Croatia,” he says. “I just did not expect us to get so hammered.”
