In some cases there’s no need for grading
Ah, the Olympics, the great mind wrestle for those of us invested in sport. How much of what you see do you believe? Do you trust the athletes? Same question, but even more pointed with regard to the coaches? Now, maybe I’m an idiot at worst, or a sporting romantic at best, but, matters tend…

When you’re neither up nor down
Meath…0-09 Kerry…2-18 A Kerry-bred friend of mine residing in these parts posted a photo on social media this (Monday) morning of his young daughter with the great Tom O’Sullivan on the Pairc Tailteann pitch after Kerry had done what most people expected them to do. Albeit with far too much ease than was comfortable for…
