Tadhg Coakley: We were all enriched and renewed from the experience

Yesterday was a special day in the long list of special days that sport has given us. Yesterday brought us together in so many ways.

It didn’t matter what county or club you were from; it didn’t matter what soccer team you followed; it didn’t matter what sport you favoured, your accent, or which jersey you wore. Yesterday in Páirc Uí Chaoimh we were all the same, we were one in the certainty that what binds us is so much greater than what separates us.
