Hey lets not make this a statement on the Dubs - they are more down to earth than probably any other county. And who knows where those smart alecs were from. Could have Mayo parents for all we know. In any case regarding the Mayo girls, I hate saying this but toughen up and rise above it!! The real world has bullies and sheltering out among the decent folk in the West and hoping for "fair play" is not the answer. The next time they go up to that school, they should make sure they hammer the opposition same as the wonderful Mayo ladies team do or that Castlebar rounders team that won umpteen all Irelands. From the PE teachers point of view an official complaint can be lodged if merited. I wouldnt waste 5 seconds of my thoughts drawing social conclusions from a gang of misbehaving teens. Actually I would probably focus on trying to sell them designer something or other and going home with few quid :-))))
