  • One day a year dreaming of living somewhere else

    One day a year dreaming of living somewhere else

    O’Donovan Rossa from Cork against the great Eire Og team representing Carlow is the first All Ireland Club SFC Final this corner can remember. If the memory box serves me correctly, the hurling final that day was between Galway side Sarsfields and Dunloy Cuchulainns from Antrim. That football final in particular is now recalled with…

  • Cats claw their way through as Dubs deliver

    Another day, another unintended consequence of the absurdity inflicted upon the world by Covid-19. Now read on… In one sense, yes, it was great and indeed momentous that 8,500 people were allowed in to see the Leinster SHC semi final double header at Croke Park.

  • Harte procedure sees Galway advance

    Galway……3-23 Tipperary…..2-24 Sometimes, special games require unusual interjections from unlikely heroes to send the verdict one way or the other. Think of Seamus Darby’s goal in 1982, Eamonn Taaffe coming on, hitting the winner for Clare in ’95 and then going off again. Shane O’Donnell notching a hat-trick in the 2013 replay. You can now…

  • Cool hand Richie wins the day as Cats spring back to life

    Kilkenny……2-20 Galway……0-24 Sometimes it is as simple as it looks. The old gunslinger sidles into town, draws his pistol and quietens the annoying upstart. Again.
