For GAA fans, great teams refine the soul and bring colour and richness to our lives. When our team is on a winning streak it imbues us with a deep feeling of solidarity and a glow that uplifts the spirit. Great teams have that special power. They enable us to tap into the core of life and be energised, to be in touch with our own deepest feelings and get in touch with others.
