...young and I hate to say that things will not always go your way in life, and if you can't accept this and resolve to do better next time, you've learned nothing about life, from sports, and I've failed you"

It's a long time ago since Fr Hughes explained sportsmanship the morning after the team he trained were beaten by one point in the final, by virtue of a dodgy decision.

"Even when the ref is wrong, he's right. We live with that, we dust ourselves off, we do better next time. Lads, you're (1/2)
