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 Michael McMullan REIGNING champions Cushendall begin their title defence against league champions Rossa on Saturday in Belfast. Brian Delargy’s side missed out on the top half of the league, surrendering the league title they won last year. After picking up some momentum, they finished off the season with the Feis Cup as they head […]

By Michael McMullan WILLIE Maher has one hell of a job on his hands. The GAA’s new Head of Hurling could divide himself in 100 different pieces and still be meeting himself coming backwards. It’s the national game, yet very few counties are playing it at the top end. There are plenty of clubs hurling […]
THIS week I have been thinking about the Ulster hurling teams’ poor performance this season and on the back of the GAA rolling out a new Head of Hurling. It makes me wonder what the overall plan for Ulster might need to look like. It was massively disappointing for Derry to lose out in the Christy […]
THREE hurling titles are on the line this weekend and all three will screened live. Cork and Limerick pair off in the Munster hurling final. In Leinster, Kilkenny and Galway face off again. Also at Croke Park, the Joe McDonagh Cup final will be between Kildare and Laois. Advertisement Saturday 4pm Offaly v New York […]
