In the midst of triumph it is a sad part of a newspaper's duty to record tragedy and this weekend has been one of the worst in recent years for road accidents.
A total of four people died in three crashes and several other people were injured.
Beside such appalling, and sudden, loss of life sporting events melt into insignificance.
We offer our heartfelt condolences to the loved ones of all the victims of these terrible events.
