• Cluiche ceannais a bhí ann agus bhí atmaisféar dochreidte ann. It was a final and there was an incredible atmosphere.

• Cuireadh plástar uirthi. A plaster was put on it.

• Bhí Seán tagtha chuige féin faoin tráth seo ach bhí an plástar an-mhíchompordach. Seán was back to himself by this time but the plaster was really uncomfortable.

• Mhínigh an dochtúir dó go raibh a chos briste agus go mbeadh air sos fada a thógáil ón spórt. The doctor explained to him that his leg was broken and he would have to take a long break from sport.
