‘SOME might say’ that the GAA have sold their soul a little due to the fact that the split-season means that the county game is wrapped up before the end of July in football and hurling with ladies football and camogie being finished up in the two weeks after. It means there won’t be a […]
FIRST off, congratulations to Tipperary. They were thoroughly deserving All-Ireland champions, and it’s fair to say they completely dismantled a highly-rated Cork side in the hurling showpiece a fortnight ago. It was a crazy collapse from the Rebels, and I think everyone has seen the Whatsapps claiming that there was a dressing room bust-up at […]
By Daragh Ó Conchúir IT is a fact now that many young women and men with serious ambitions of having inter-county careers in Gaelic Games choose professions conducive to pursuing that goal. You see lots of teachers. Not many self-employed. Few working in jobs with shift work at their core. Nursing is one of the […]
Tyrone 2-16 Laois 1-13 By Rónán Mac Lochlainn GOALS in either half from Aoife Horisk and Katie Rose Muldoon proved pivotal as Tyrone edged out Laois by six points to capture the TG4 All-Ireland intermediate football final at Croke Park. Having succumbed narrowly to Leitrim in last year’s decider, it was Tyrone’s turn to celebrate […]

All-Ireland SFC final Donegal v Kerry Sunday, Croke Park, 3.30pm By Michael McMullan Advertisement IT was convincing in 1992 when Donegal bossed Dublin to lift Sam for the first time. In 2012, a well-versed training ground routine morphed into an early Michael Murphy goal Mayo never recovered from. Two finals, two wins. A 100 per […]
By Michael McMullan MICHAEL Murphy sees Kerry as an “incredible” challenge in Sunday’s All-Ireland final showdown as Donegal take aim on taking Sam Maguire to the hills for the third time. The 2012 winning captain spent the last two seasons pouring over the race for Sam in his role as analyst before answering the call […]
BY RYAN FERRY DONEGAL manager Jim McGuinness says the challenge in front of his team is huge as they aim to land the Sam Maguire Cup for only the third time in the county’s history. It has been a mammoth campaign to get through to this stage. No team has ever had to play 11 […]
By Michael McMullan DONEGAL have named an unchanged team for Sunday’s All-Ireland final clash with Kerry. Captain Patrick McBrearty is again set to start on the bench, with Caolan McGonagle, tipped in many circles to start a first game since the defeat to Tyrone, also missing out. Jack O’Connor has also named the same starting […]
SO here it is. Like I mentioned last week, we have the two best teams in the final and I don’t think anyone can argue with that. This final will be interesting for a number of reasons which we will get into later but one of the most interesting factors is the contrast in styles. […]
