Trinity College commentary on hurling game should end the stupid stereotypes

Spoken like a true country man.

A cold, damp and dark night in Santry was brightened up by the Twitter updates of the Trinity College GAA page who brought the Dublin college's first round of the division 2 hurling league against Queen's University to life. We're all well used to the drab, boring Twitter updates that let us all know the scoreline, maybe the scorers, but that's just about it. More-often-than-not, they're not doing the game in front of them justice. They have so much scope, so much opportunity to make a difference but they're content to leave it be. We want a bit of creativity, we want a bit of personality, we want someone who'll put their necks on the chopping block and give us a real, honest account of the game. You're part of the team, you're allowed to be biased, you're allowed to get excited, let us join in the fun. Trinity enjoyed a comprehensive victory over the Belfast college, to get their senior hurling campaign up and running, and they probably earned a few new Twitter followers along the way, too. For some reason unknown to us, Trinity College has this reputation as a college that is full of posh people. When someone tells you they're in college in Trinity, how often do you go, "ooooh Trinners." Their senior hurling team definitely don't comply to the stereotype. All the lads. https://twitter.com/TCDGAA/status/917470692114919424 The Dublin senior star Cian O'Sullivan wasn't too bothered about playing two games in two days. Getting down and getting his hands dirty for the cause. No softness here. https://twitter.com/TCDGAA/status/917471862992629761 F*ck the rugby lads. Hurling is the way to go. https://twitter.com/TCDGAA/status/917472482755530752 That man again. https://twitter.com/TCDGAA/status/917473458250027008 Hate when a cold sore pops up out of nowhere. https://twitter.com/TCDGAA/status/917474959554998272 You've a stick for a reason Mark. https://twitter.com/TCDGAA/status/917475747031371776 Sully cut him deep. https://twitter.com/TCDGAA/status/917475931069042689 Heeney saw the name on the front pages of Tuesday morning's newspapers. https://twitter.com/TCDGAA/status/917476351376003078 Thirsty work. https://twitter.com/TCDGAA/status/917480450196758529 Ease up now, Butler. https://twitter.com/TCDGAA/status/917481441025552386 Go on the kid. https://twitter.com/TCDGAA/status/917488396121116673 It's not all about you, Ciano. https://twitter.com/TCDGAA/status/917491367441518592 Enough said. https://twitter.com/TCDGAA/status/917494094439608321 At least you tried. https://twitter.com/TCDGAA/status/917497292910940161 No excuses please, Mark. https://twitter.com/mcorry27/status/917497810911744000 Same again next time, please. The stereotypes are gone out the window.
