BEFORE I get stuck into this week’s action, I just want to touch on the structures around the championship, the fact that they are set to change next year. I understand in the past that perhaps things might not have worked out as we had hoped with a few dead rubbers here and there, but […]
THE games are coming thick and fast over the next few weeks as the provincial championships ramp up. Last weekend Armagh and Tyrone made it through their respective games to set up a mouth-watering clash between these arch rivals. Starting with Tyrone, they looked impressive enough at stages without setting the world alight, but you […]
CONGRATULATIONS to all teams who lifted silverware last weekend as the leagues came to a conclusion with four games across two days in Croke Park. The leagues have been very enjoyable for us as spectators to watch and I’m sure most teams got what they would’ve liked out of those games. Kerry would have been […]
HIS week in the league we have Super Sunday. And it is just that when you look across all the divisions. There is so much to play at both ends of all the tables. This Sunday I’ll make my way to Inniskeen for the derby clash of Louth and Meath, but, as usual on Super […]

AS I made my way home from Connacht last Sunday evening, I just couldn’t keep the smile from my face. I was returning from covering the Roscommon and Down game, whilst also having watched all of the other National League games, and to say that I was buzzing with excitement would be an understatement. Now let’s state […]
THE turkey is well gone and people are out walking like tomorrow is never coming however there is one common topic on everyone’s lips. Over the Christmas period I have bumped into people of all ages and the one thing they all want to speak about is how the new rules will look when January […]
I WAS writing here last week about how excited I was about the new rules coming into the game. This week, I am taking it a stage further. I am going to try ranking the teams based on how I think the rules will suit them. 1 – Kerry It’s goes without saying that, in […]
LAST week I felt Errigal Ciaran had a chance but my main concern was that if Kilcoo shut the two Cannavan brothers down where would Errigal get there scores from. About five minutes into the game last Sunday, I knew that this game was there for the taking for Errigal if they could create a […]
