IT Tralee’s Twitter commentary for spanking they took from UCC is gold

It's not all about winning.

A story was told from Mardyke Arena in Cork on Tuesday night but it wasn't your classic Hollywood tale of hope and inspiration and rising above yourself and all that. No, this one was a bit more realistic. One you couldn't sugar coat for the kids and one you shouldn't either because they need to know that these things happen - hammering happen. Some teams are just better than you. But as IT Tralee lost out to rivals UCC in the Third Level Munster Junior Hurling Championship final, there were other lessons to learn in the form of friendship, college memories and being able to smile in the face of adversity. And by God IT Tralee did a lot of smiling because there was a lot and a lot and a lot of adversity to face up to. The college's GAA Twitter account did the world a beautiful service by calling the game with some cracking play by plays. It wasn't a great start and the tone was set - no-one was getting let off the hook tonight. https://twitter.com/ITTraleeGAAClub/status/971101359029317632 Makes sense now... https://twitter.com/ITTraleeGAAClub/status/971113424209022982 At least the player were making the most of a bad situation. https://twitter.com/ITTraleeGAAClub/status/971113424343240704 UCC's chances being kept alive by dodgy officiating. https://twitter.com/ITTraleeGAAClub/status/971113424347369472 Keeper and captain spared this time around. https://twitter.com/ITTraleeGAAClub/status/971113424372543489 Not this time though (and some lovely trolling of the Cork folk). https://twitter.com/ITTraleeGAAClub/status/971113424833908736 Accident's happen, like. https://twitter.com/ITTraleeGAAClub/status/971113424804614144 On a knife edge. https://twitter.com/ITTraleeGAAClub/status/971113424783585280 Changes everything! https://twitter.com/ITTraleeGAAClub/status/971113989408284673 UCC managed to pull away at the death.  https://twitter.com/ITTraleeGAAClub/status/971114400617771009 No pressure, lads. https://twitter.com/ITTraleeGAAClub/status/971114998553567238 Some difference they made. https://twitter.com/ITTraleeGAAClub/status/971116202046214145 Actually... https://twitter.com/ITTraleeGAAClub/status/971124012536487938 But they were still smiling at the end of it all. https://twitter.com/ITTraleeGAAClub/status/971125779923914758
