watercolour 20cmx29.5cm
In the excitement, intensity, and speed of a game, ther are moments when all of it is surpassed.
One of these is when the ball breaks to a known goalman.
Eighty thousand pairs of eyes, eighty thousand hearts, eighty thousand voices, can roar these seconds into a life of their own.
The power, the energy, the sound of the crowd, can put height on the sky and fill the stadium with a year's desire.
The intensity can bring a player to scorch across the green, let fly with force and accuracy, and billow the net in a paroxysm of human accomplishment.
Small wonder the Christy Rings, Nicky Rackards, D.J. Careys, Shefflins, O'Gormans, Dorans, become household names. You may well talk of Broadway, Shaftesbury Avenue, of the passions, colour, the drama of theatre.
Yet in this arena, can lie the hopes and hearts, the beliefs and dreams, of lifetimes. One victory can wipe clean the years, the disappointments, the endurances, of a team, or a parish, or a county, when it comes.
While not forgetting the others, the men who field the ball, deliver it up the pitch, and pass at that unknown but perfect instant, let's raise a salute to the finishers, the heroes, the artists who bring a sublime and elegant touch to that elusive craft.
