For Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne, a bittersweet victory.

The 14-year-old boy who died after suffering a head injury in a schools cup match, in Dingle, in Co Kerry, has been described by the principal of Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne as a “gentle, soft-spoken, level-headed boy”.

Gaelic football, and sport in general, can be all consuming for those of us at the coalface. Whether you are a player, coach, supporter or anything in between, we allow everything from training to games, and from stats to systems dominate our priorities all too often.

Tributes have been paid to a young Kerry GAA player who died after an accidental clash during a school final.
