"I've covered in the region of 200 Cumann na mBunscol finals, between football and hurling, since I started writing for this paper, and this is the only time a school has refused to give me their team list."Castletown won the Division 8 final. Brilliant. Well done. What was the point of that? Not only have the screwed over a Division 8 standard team by putting them up against players superior to that standard in a final, but they've dropped some of their own B team who got them to the decider from what should have been a massive day and great occasion for those youngsters. And they've done it all by showing everyone - students, parents, anyone outside the school - that winning is all that matters. Making sure they won at whatever cost was all they cared about. They obviously knew this was a little unethical - if not dodgy - if they refused to provide accurate team lists for the media on the day. They obviously didn't care too much about those ethics though if it meant they got a Division 8 primary school trophy to show for it. Read the Leinster Express' full report here. It's a brilliant read but you'll be despairing afterwards.
