At 11.15pm on Wednesday night, the social media account belonging to UCC GAA posted a message of congratulations to their Fitzgibbon Cup semi-final conquerors from earlier that day. The post couldn’t have been more gracious, stating as it did that DCU’s win was “well deserved”.

“Thanks lads. You’re the standard bearers,” read the DCU reply a few minutes later.
