Julie Jay: My stubborn determination for my son to play GAA is paying off

Julie Jay: "He stayed at training for the full hour. And I couldn’t have been prouder of him. So proud was I that we treated ourselves to a doughnut and telly. No doubt it's the midmorning snack of many an All Ireland champion."
I have been threatening to bring Number One to football training for quite a while now, but I said I’d hold off until the weather was better because of his delicate chest and because I hate getting my fleece wet.
We are now officially in training session three, and like any great sports autobiography, so far, it has been a journey of dizzying highs and terrible lows.
