T stands for Tyrone

Tyrone won the All Ireland football final on Saturday in front of 41,150 Mayo and Tyrone supporters.  This is half capacity of Croke Park due to Covid restrictions. GAA football is not a professional league and Tyrone counts among it’s players teachers, sales representatives, plasterers, accountants and carpenters. They aren’t paid for playing, but their commitment, passion and excellence is second to no professional team. Beyond the players themselves is a back room team committed to their success. They hail from all parts of the county and have deep community ties to their local clubs. Playing for the county is an honor for the player and the local club. The work rate, fitness and athleticism are an inspiration for all the fans.


 
I loved this article about the heartwarming moment fan Patrick Trainor was lifted from the stands to raise the Sam Maguire.There is a short clip in the article that shows Patrick’s joy in being included in this fantastic moment. 
In the moment in Massachusetts!
Thanks to the magic of technology

  4. It was nice to learn a bit about the team. It's too bad they aren't paid, especially since professionals make so very much money. I also enjoyed reading the article, and loved that you created such magic on tissue paper. That trophy would make one huge drink cup, wouldn't it? Thanks for sharing Tyrone and the trophy with us for T this Tuesday dear Nan.

  6. That is such a fun and positive post! How wonderful that Tyrone won! The clip wouldn't play on my computer, but looking at this special fan, he looks like he could be Down Syndrome. It would have been the most fantastic moment in his life.
    Happy belated T-Day,
    Hugs,
