Incredible day yesterday and so fortunate I got to share it with my father in Croke Park. We have waited a long, long time for this 💚❤️ #MayoGAA #GAA

[Ronan O Gara @RonanOGara10]

Congrats @AIDOXI
The resilience you have shown has been rewarded today. Imagine having given up 2 years ago..you would have to sit on the couch with 50 years of regrets… look at you now..whether you kicked a ball today doesn’t matter a fuck..
You were there for every meeting, clarity session and training session. Your input will be appreciated by those who matter. You can do what you like now. Enjoy the celebrations.💪❤️❤️🥇

With sub-zero temperatures and ice warnings currently across the country, a number of fixtures have been cancelled due to safety concerns.

How do racecourses reach this decision? It's a meticulous process, where every reasonable effort is made to run the fixture if it is safe to do so.
