Ennis double menace keeps Peadar’s Cup at home
Meath… 1-22 Carlow… 1-09 When I was setting out on my (first) journey doing PR work for St Peter’s Dunboyne – more than a quarter of a century ago – my eyesight was still at a stage where I could cover hurling as well as football. It was an exciting time for the small ball…

McCormack is the Premier Iron Man as Tipp stun Brave Faithful
Tipperary… 1-17 Offaly… 1-16 Leo O’Connor must absolutely hate being involved in All Ireland Finals at this stage. It was he, Cantona-esque, with collar up, who essayed over Limerick’s final score in the 1994 decider before Offaly manufactured a resurrection to rival anything produced by Our Lord on a Friday long ago. Yesterday, he was…
