The Dubs visited Temple Street and Crumlin this morning - but not everyone was smiling

Heartwarming pictures.

IT HAS TO be one of the great sporting traditions; the All-Ireland winners visiting the capitalโ€™s childrenโ€™s hospitals the morning after the night before.

So with a few hours sleep and a couple of sore heads, Jim Gavinโ€™s men arrived at Our Ladyโ€™s Childrenโ€™s Hospital in Crumlin and Temple Street to pay a special visit to the patients.

    Why has Gilroy the great hope for Dublin hurling gone so quickly? So much hype and hope and he resigns after one year. I can smell a โ€œMayoโ€ story here?
