  • DriveThru Sports Weekly – Ep. 12

    This week’s episode looks back on the latest player to make a big breakthrough in darts, Jonny Clayton of Wales. I also look back at what happened regarding Irish players in the recently closed transfer window, while a look is taken as well at the addition of Paul O’Connell to the Irish rugby backroom team.

  • No one man is a team

At some point during the year, the point was made that, wholly unintentionally, this corner had drifted away from watching golf. If memory serves me correctly, it was…
