- Friends are more important. - Your friends are here, son. Your friends are your team mates. - Family is more important. - Club is family. - Life? - This is living.

During the game, Colmcille man Richie Stewart had to come off injured. It worked out well though because he had a wedding to get back to. So, rather than miss any of the action, he got back into his Sunday best on the bench and a helping hand from a patient friend and good, old technology made sure he looked his best. https://twitter.com/canntoya/status/761296071733698560 It wasn't even the moment of the night though. At another stage, Magilligan forward Conor Canning took a nasty injury to the head and, in a show of true, classy sportsmanship, a member of the opposition was there to mind him. https://twitter.com/MKBurke1/status/761313984586866689 The GAA hasn't lost its soul.
