For the rest of the season, Hamilton, et al kicked our young lads all over the place and that team never recovered their form. I like to think this team are made of sterner stuff, but don’t think for a minute other coaches will sit back and watch youngsters pick them apart like we did on Saturday, they will ‘bring it’ if this keeps up!
Not quite the whole story. I heard Gunning took some of the young lads on the town the night before the saints game and some got so hammered they were binned by McNamara when he saw them turn up
