If we play as selected we’ve a great chance
Having just typed the above headline, I realise there’s probably as much chance of me walking down for a pint as there is of the said eventuality coming to pass, but, even in light of the cataclysmic loss of Ruairi Kinsella, the listed half forward line has me salivating at what might be possible if…

St Peter’s, Dunboyne…0-13 Wolfe Tones…1-17 Home side Dunboyne got off to a flying start in the basking Tuesday evening heat, opening up a lead of 0-05 to 0-00 before their old rivals in purple and gold completely dominated the remainder of the first half with Caolan and Fiachra Ward and Tomas O’Reilly leading a blitz…

Harvest in the hills all in vain
MEATH…2-18 DONEGAL…1-16 No matter what competition structure a governing body in any code put together, there will always be somebody left feeling hard done by if they end up on the wrong side of a tight margin call.
