Meath GAA club with a brilliant message for any adults watching under-age teams in action

It's only sport

Kevin McGillicuddy

Sometimes we forget.

Winning is a superb feeling but sometimes amid the euphoria people can get carried away with their emotions.

Bill Shankly may have said sport was more important than life or death, but a GAA club in Meath certainly doesn’t agree.

Something that has crept into underage games, and not just GAA either, is how much interested parties can get carried away when watching involving children.

We’ve all heard stories of adults being abusive and not letting boys and girls actually enjoy the feeling of playing sport with their friends.

So we’re delighted to see this message on a gate at Meath side Navan O’Mahony’s which reminds everyone why they got involved in sport in the first place; the pure unfiltered joy  of playing sport
