Bridget Moran was undoubtedly the kindest, most genuine person I’ve come across in this job. A stalwart of Oulart-The Ballagh and Wexford Camogie, quietly irreplaceable in the glory days of the game in the county, did so much more than her title of ‘first aid’.

Look at the last save again - the one from Fitzpatrick (yellow helmet). While less spectacular than the Tobin one, it’s actually more impressive, more difficult height & look at the second movement!!! It’s going in without the second stop!!! #Hurling #GAA

These have been sent on; the state of the pitch at the end of the game. Obviously same for both teams but it’s impossible to play a proper game in this, it’s also a danger to the players. While clearly no men’s game would be played in this, I don’t believe LGFA would either.
