Worthy final pairing in a season to remember
Maybe it’s just that I’m getting to that age, but from the time of the first big championship game back in May, this season has really flown by.
Cork v Clare, May 27 in Thurles — remember that one? Semplegate it’s being called, in that tired and lazy way in which anything controversial now simply gets the ‘gate’ tag; the tunnel incident in Thurles, however, never came anywhere near the original Watergate in terms of repercussions, seismic though the multiple suspensions undoubtedly were in GAA terms, sizeable as were their effects, on Cork particularly.
