“He’s definitely not under-14.”
There have been so many Gaelic myths down through the years on the local GAA scene.
Any underage team that have ever been beaten have, at one stage or another, claimed that the other crowd were playing a load of boys ‘over the bar’.
From men with stubbles lining out for the under-16s.

We’ve all been victims of losing the game because they cheated. Or so we said.
Sometimes, it is just too hard to believe though.
A Féile match between the under-14s of Sylane and Skehana presented the opportunity for the most GAA picture of the week. It was definitely a case of “he’s not under-14” – only, in this case, neither seemed to be under-14. For very different reasons.
The photo was taken by Mike Meila at Skehana’s pitch in Galway.
It definitely wasn’t a like for like in the marking match-ups. Hope there weren’t many high balls fired in.
