Photo: Harry Murphy/SportsfileTo thieve from and paraphrase the Bard of Stratford-Upon-Avon, we must celebrate “wisely but not too well” as a thrilling All-Ireland series brought joy and surprises in this Covid-19 time. The All-Ireland hurling final contestants are now designated after two thrilling and hard-fought games over the weekend. Waterford, who won their last All-Ireland back in 1959, will face Limerick, who have won but two titles in the past 47 years. Tipperary’s footballers last won an All-Ireland in 1918, Mayo famously are waiting since 1951, Cavan have been starved of success since 1952. Those of us blessed with rude good health should take account of these groups’ anxieties and also not be unduly arrogant about our own good health.
