Two greats bowing out with very different tales to tell
Carlow’s Darragh Foley and James McCarthy of Dublin announced their respective inter county retirements on the same day a few weeks back.

Getting the band back together is fine but don’t forget backing vocals
Republic Of Ireland manager Heimir Halgrimsson has learned very quickly into his reign that changing ones mind – specifically having the ability and/or confidence to do so – is no bad thing.

Duffer delivers silverware as others bring defiance
Agreeing with Pat Spillane is not something done lightly by the occupant of this seat. In fact, the mere thought of doing so makes one shudder.

The standard Dunboyne initiation that gave so much more in return
From as far back as when I was in Primary school, my powers of recall were often a topic of discussion. Especially if the subject matter was either sport or farming related.
