Sir, – Sports fans everywhere could spare a thought for young Dublin football supporters who are coming to terms with the team’s first loss in their living memory. – Yours, etc,
MARIE HUMPHRIES,
Drumcondra,
Dublin 9.
Sir, – Time to split Mayo in two. – Yours, etc,
HUGH McDONNELL,
Termonfeckin,
Co Louth.
Sir, – Fair play to Malachy Clerkin (Sport, July 16th) for putting his head above the parapet last month by declaring boldly that "Dublin won't win the All-Ireland this year". The result of the Dublin v Mayo semi-final was a triumphant vindication of his prescience.
I don’t suppose your sibylline columnist would care to tell us which county will lift this season’s Sam Maguire Cup?
It’s been quite a while since I relieved Paddy Power of a few euro. – Yours, etc,
PAUL DELANEY,
Dalkey,
Co Dublin.
Sir, – The West’s awake. – Yours, etc,
HUGH MULLAN,
Strandhill,
Co Sligo.
Sir, – Can we now please put an end to all this talk about dividing Dublin in two for Gaelic football?
Congratulations, Mayo, and best of luck in the final. – Yours, etc,
MJ TOMLIN,
Raheny,
Dublin 5.
