  • Price’s combination punching floors all comers

    Price’s combination punching floors all comers

    This corner would wager quite the sum that when Gerwyn Price mentioned he was taking part in a charity boxing event whilst being interviewed by Emma Paton, there were plenty salivating at the thoughts of getting a crack at him. They might be well advised to be careful what they wish for. The numbers generally…

  • Ferret burrowing his way to the bigtime one step at a time

    Ferret burrowing his way to the bigtime one step at a time

    The more darts the one seeing eye here takes in, the more it’s realised how a game can be turned on its head in an instant. Al Paccino might have said in an inch rather than instance and in the case in point here, he couldn’t have been more on the money. As Michael Van…

  • Variety keeps things interesting

    I would be very much a creature of habit. Owing mostly to superstition. When life was as I wanted it to be – before personal circumstances and Covid-19 made a horlicks of same – that meant going for a few pints on a Sunday, Monday and Wednesday night and getting a Chinese takeaway on a…

  • MVG changes tools of trade as season nears off-time

    How often have you heard it said that a big part of what sets the most successful competitors apart from the deadwood is knowing how to win. That may mean Dean Rock spending endless hours kicking placed balls or Rory McIlroy tinkering with his golf swing or the likes of Paul Townend watching replays pre…

    Welcome to our first episode of the new year. Wherein we have mention of eras ending, new ones beginning and, in one corner of the Horse Racing, things being the same as they ever were while pondering whether opportunities may arise from certain directions going forward.

  • Being a Champion is harder than becoming one

    On the three occasions St Peter’s, Dunboyne won Meath Senior Football Champions, in 1998, 2005 and 2018, the greatest regret thereafter was the sense that, on all three occasions, the groups failed to achieve what they might have done given the quality of players on the panels. Why exactly that is has been the subject…

  • Lack of a gallop leaves Anderson searching for fluidity and answers

    March 2005, Cheltenham. Day one of the Festival. The race that’s not only the highlight of the day, but of that entire year for us that are hopelessly devoted to jump racing. Or maybe many years. Hardy Eustace, the venerable old Massey Ferguson 390T, the old dog for the hard road, turns for home with…

  • Scotsman hovering with intent as ‘Family Guy’ returns to form!

    It is probably the case that once you get any way familiar with a given sporting activity or author or journalist or whatever the case may be, you will develop one favourite exponent thereof who will be admired and enjoyed perhaps a bit more than all others. Though brilliant the rest may be. Apply that…

  • Even a genius is only human

    Two ballads by well known Irish performers are reverberating in my head. One very well known, the other possibly not as much so as could be the case. The first being One Day At A Time by Gloria and the other being Christy Moore’s version of Viva Le Quinta Brigada – relating to Irish involvement…
