Instonians' Battle, Flags at Half Mast, and Patriots' Gibson Shines

January 4, 2025 at 5:43 PM
Instonians faced a tough challenge at the Aviva Stadium, falling short in their bid to win the Bateman Cup. Despite strong performances, including tries by Neil Saulters and Ruairi O’Farrell, they were overpowered by AIL Division 1A hosts. Meanwhile, U.S. flags are at half-staff today as a mark of respect following the passing of former President Jimmy Carter. The tradition, rooted in the U.S. flag code, dictates flags be flown at half mast for 30 days to honor past presidents. This solemn gesture has sparked conversations about why flags are at half mast today and its historical significance. In other news, Antonio Gibson leads the Patriots' backfield, continuing his strong form as they face the Buffalo Bills.
