Love/Hate ended last night and so the Louth GAA season.
(Spoiler alert)
The final act of the season was just as gruesome as Darren's death.
The O'Connells, St Joesphs and Stabannon Parnells ended the season on a high and took care of the Clans in the Minor League Division 1 final.
Which was seen as a Grudge match. As the unsuccessful Minor Championship Semi final appeals by the Clans against them was a huge motivation for the combination side and I'm sure Revenge was sweet.
Final Score 3-11 to 1-9
Paidí O'Sé
The GAA world mourns the loss of one of it's most charismatic and favourite son's.
I know many Louth Club teams have had the honour of playing in his tournament and enjoying his company over that special weekend.
Paidí's relationship with the wee county during his Kerry years as Player and Manager was few and far between.
Maybe one League game in Ardee in 2002 (seen below) in which Kerry won comfortably.

However, in his first game in charge of Westmeath he faced us, in the first round of the O'Byrne cup.
We lost that day after ET as you can tell from Mark Stansfield's face. (pic below)

But I think 18,000 turned out that day yes, 18 thousand on the 4th of january.
yes, the 4th of January!!
Such was his appeal and the buzz of his appointment, They went on to win their one and only Leinster title later on that season, Amazingly.
To see first hand his energy on the sideline that day will stick me forever. He had a presence and instant respect to each and everyone of those 18 thousand pair of eye's.
A special character and It's hard to believe he's gone.
RIP Paidí
