Junior joy for Mayo

At least the GAA have done something right for us Mayo fans when combining the Junior All-Ireland final with our Senior quarter-final on August 8.

At this stage I presume that, like myself, you are sick to your teeth of hearing people complaining about the recent Budget. First the pensioners, then the teachers, medical professionals, and more recently the farmers have taken to the streets to highlight how unjust the recent changes brought about by the Budget have been to each of their respective spheres. And that’s before we even mention the dreaded word recapitalisation. Thank God for the All-Blacks was all I could think as our attention was diverted to matters less important, but infinitely more entertaining over the past week.
