A week to remember for wrong reasons

Putting the good side out first; at least there was Crokes. Prevailing via some quaint, mutant derivation of Gaelic football and confounding the risk assessors by transferring the ball to one another by means of an unusual technique historians refer to as kicking.

Crossmaglen too, played ball. But soon allegations surfaced, soured and saddened. We can only hope, whatever happened, that nobody commissions a set of t-shirts over it.
