It was exciting to wake up yesterday morning, look out my front window and be able to see green grass after looking at nothing only white frost all week. The car park around the pub was like an ice rink so it was refreshing to be able to hit the road to Dublin with peace of mind and not have to worry about trying to stay between the ditches until I hit the M7.
It was exciting to be heading to Croke Park a week before Christmas for such an attractive double-header, including one of the most eagerly anticipated club games ever. Being honest though, I wasn’t as pumped up as I thought I would be. Any genuine hurling person was only watching one game yesterday but you still can’t ignore the elephant in the room when the elephant is that big and the room is that small.
