A product is only as good as how it’s manufactured
Anyone who has been perusing material in this space for long enough will undoubtedly have seen reference made to the Corner House. That being my father’s ancestral family home. A book could and maybe one day will be produced on how beloved the old place was to me. Its appearance here today pertains to the…

You don’t pay for a cow’s silage when ordering a litre of milk!
The thing that surprised me most was the fact that it took a very open, honest interview with Wexford legend Tom Dempsey for me to catch onto and agree with the point he was making. To go forward with this production we must first go back. What is probably more years than any of us…

Laois lucky to have another good Ross on the grid
Mayo’s Lee Keegan bowing out of inter county fare could hardly be classified as a shock. Especially as it was signposted on this site nearly a month ago. It was, however, sadly in keeping with modern trends of county players retiring too young. The Westport clubman being only 33. Thankfully, there will always be those…

Offaly poor form sees Louth into Final of farcical O’Byrne Cup
Offaly manager Liam Kearns should practice what he preaches. Either that or consider the meaning of put up or shut up. Earlier this week, the Kerry native had a right whinge about other counties conceding walkovers in the Bord Na Mona O’Byrne Cup. In a way, he may have had a point. If he had,…

I truly cannot contemplate what her husband Micky Johnson, parents Pat, Ead and all of their family are going through, let alone how a Dunshaughlin team – managed by Maria’s brother Richie and including…

Quiet legend Manning goes out on a high note
An era ended in Ballybrit this afternoon when the quiet legend of the Irish Flat weighroom, Kevin Manning, called time on his illustrious glory-laden career in the saddle. Fittingly going out on a winner prepared by his father-in-law and boss, Jim Bolger. Vocal Studies carrying the colours of Jim’s wife Jackie, as so many of…
