The smallest gestures can mean so much.

Irish communities have a long history of helping less fortunate areas in Africa, especially GAA clubs. And one of the key ways that Irish people show their support for those less-well-off is often in donating various sets of jerseys to kids and adults to foster their love of sport. https://twitter.com/Spicer1982/status/705338530277560320 https://twitter.com/MCooperSF/status/425542150080978944 We've seen pictures of kids playing ball in various county GAA tops over the years and now an image has emerged today of smiling kids in a South Africa township with kits from Belfast club Davitts. https://twitter.com/Davitts1912/status/712691055766990848 It's a lovely touch. Although we're not sure who was behind the donation, we're sure it's been very much appreciated.
