Losing their way

YOU reported in recent times how the North Monastery (Cork) Harty Cup team suffered huge defeats.

For example, De La Salle, Waterford, 5-28, North Monastery, 0-3. Results like this are difficult to comprehend, given the size and tradition of the school.

If the 18th century Gaelic poet Michéal Óg Ó Longáin were alive today, he might rewrite his famous line as follows: “Cá bhfuil na Mon boys, nú an fíor go mairid beo?” (Where are the Mon boys, or is it true that they live forever?)
