Replying To waynoI:  "Tragic!

Serves as a timely reminder to us all as we approach the weekend, That gaelic games including handball, are exactly that, games.

For all peoples moaning about the quality of the game, the joy after victory and pain after defeat. Its all short term, We have to remember that these are just games at the end of the day, Past-times.

Something to put a smile on our face away from all the problems outside of a football stadium. Bills, children to provide for, jobs etc. Gaelic games is a release from all those pressures for 70 minutes, And sure, For two teams there will be a bit of disappointment on Saturday evening, But upon hearing this news, I think we should reflect and be grateful that, when we walk away from Croke Park, Especially if our team loses, We will be going home to our families who will take our minds away from the football for another while who are thankfully fit and healthy, that's the most important thing, Your health will always be your wealth

Unfortunately for the Walsh family, His wife Sheena and his kids, They wont feel any better or any solace in the next while. I offer my sincere condolences to all. And I only hope they can dig deep and find the resolve to come through this terrible time, in the weeks and months to come with a smile upon their faces. !!"
Well said Wayno. We all love the GAA but life is more important. The weekend's match won't even register for one Mayo community as they prepare to bury a little girl after a farming accident.
