The interlinking of club and family is a terrific hook to hang a slogan on, and in many ways it fits the bill perfectly. Again, last Tuesday afternoon the image of family, friends, wives, children, mothers and fathers, mentors and club supporters running onto the green field in Croke Park and hugging each other in intense bear hugs is one that we never tire off.
