    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…

    Cummins called to the bench for judgement day

    Na Fianna’s Conor Cummins replaces Philip O’Brien as substitute goalkeeper in the only change to the matchday panel from that which rescued a dramatic draw against Derry a week ago ahead of tomorrow’s crunch encounter against Donegal in the final round of regulation fixtures in the Christy Ring Cup at O’Donnell Park in Letterkenny. What…

    St Peter’s, Dunboyne…0-15 Summerhill…1-24 The return of county U-20s Eoin McCrudden, Charlie Gallagher and John Harkin failed to provide the expected spark as Dunboyne fell to a second defeat in the FL Div. 1 on Saturday evening last away to the county champions. Only a point, 0-09 to 0-10, separated the sides at the short…

    Too much money at stake to be penny pinching

    Where do you stand in relation to the Play Offs in English league football? The process whereby, though the top two in any of the three divisions under the Premier League get automatically promoted, the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th placed sides play off in a series of matches – commensurate to the concluding stages…
