IT was a phenomenal All-Ireland hurling final and hats off to both sets of players – amateurs after all – who played the shirt off their backs for more than 90 minutes. It was a brilliant achievement for Clare but to be honest I thought it’s a total nonsense that a replay wasn’t called for at the end […]
AFTER another weekend of action across all codes, here is our latest Gaelic Life Team of the Week. Armagh and Cavan camogs’ seasons came to an end at the semi-final stage. With the county season coming to a conclusion, club activity is beginning to warm up with leagues coming to a conclusion. Here is our […]
By Michael McMullan ANTRIM must begin the search for a new senior hurling manager after news of Darren Gleeson’s decision to step down. The Tipperary All-Ireland winning goalkeeper has stepped down after five seasons in the post. Gleeson steered the Saffrons to two Joe McDonagh titles during a tenure that saw the county’s standards raised […]
By Michael McMullan WITH the league title tucked away, Cushendall manager Brian Delargy’s full focus is now on “three mighty games” as they begin the defence of their Antrim title. The Ulster champions didn’t focus on winning their league this season. The main outlook was on bringing in some new players. “I’m probably happy enough […]
I THOUGHT it was brilliantly refreshing that Offaly won the All-Ireland U-20 Championship. It was a brilliant occasion with some brilliant hurling, and they look like a team that have totally broken the mould. They’re a small, light, athletic team, they’re not full of lads who are all six foot plus. Adam Screeney is the […]
AFTER another weekend of action across all codes, here is our latest Gaelic Life Team of the Week. Armagh and Donegal left it late in the opening rounds of the All-Ireland Ladies Championship. There were wins for Derry and Armagh in the All-Ireland minor quarter-finals. At club level, we had some fine performances across Ulster. […]
By Michael McMullan THE warm smile on Ruairí Ó Mianáin’s face tells you exactly how he plays his hurling. It’s just a part of him. His touch and bag of tricks are one part of the package. It would make any manager in Ireland take note. The hurl is merely an extension of his arm. […]
ANTRIM did well to beat Carlow and secure their Leinster Championship status but my concern is that it’s essentially a non-developmental championship. Neil McManus expressed misgivings about it last weekend and I couldn’t agree with him more. It’s a bit of a farce because it’s a yo-yo situation and will never change until Wexford or […]
AFTER another weekend of action across all codes, here is our latest Gaelic Life Team of the Week. Donegal saw off Tyrone to keep their bandwagon on the road ahead of their trip to Cork and Armagh got back to winning ways against Westmeath. Derry camogs bounced back from their Ulster final defeat to turn […]
CAVAN GAA, Cavan LGFA and Cavan Camogie have entered a landmark Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) in relation to the development of The Polo Grounds Centr
