    Limerick’s big men make their point

    Limerick… 1-25 Waterford… 0-17 Peter Casey’s moment of madness will be the main talking point, but what shone through most was Limerick’s mental and physical strength as they qualified for a third All Ireland Final in four years. The corner forward saw red after becoming involved in a tangle with Waterford’s Conor Gleeson, but, as…

  • Sideline Cuts – 13

    Sideline Cuts – 13

    Back To Basics Approach Works Mention has often been made in this space on numerous occasions of how reading habits are sporadic at best.

    Smashing the glass ceiling with the passing of the baton

    The first jumps meeting of the season at Fairyhouse, usually in early October, is generally when the racing radar in this seat really becomes hyper sensitive. That isn’t to say one wouldn’t be attuned to goings on prior to that date. Just that the fixture in question is generally the cue for things to ratchet…

  • Take your points and you won’t need goals

    Limerick… 0-30 Waterford… 0-19 All Ireland Hurling Final day in 1999 was atrocious. Windy, wet, and hardly condusive to open, entertaining hurling. Two weeks thereafter, the weather was identically drab, yet Meath and Cork managed to produce a close, exciting encounter worthy of the occasion. Highlighted by brilliant goals by Cork’s. Joe Kavanagh and Ollie…

    A retired local farm worker, long since departed to the calving pens up yonder, once told my father “Don’t let anyone ever tell you about the good old days, the good days are now”. Keeping in mind that this would’ve been in the late 1970s or early ’80s anyone who had done a decade or…
