GAA: Offaly 0-17, London 1-07 - What the match report won't say
-
I was in traffic passing the stadium while the Offaly / London gaelic football match was in progress on Saturday. A man and his five year old son were walking by at the same time, when the match ball came over the stadium wall, bounced twice near them and was caught expertly by the little boy. Both father and son continued walking with junior clutching the ball as if he'd had it all along. Good job they have spares at these things!

The little boy certainly did. As for the game itself, Offaly. The scores to the left of the "-" are conventional goals, but they didn't score any. The score to the right is a point which comes from a shot over the bar, similar to a Rugby drop goal. Three of them equate to a conventional goal. So with everything converted to points the score becomes 17 to 10...
