Seems to be setting in to the role i [..]

1. Huge scoring in qualifiers

While flicking through Twitter on Saturday night, I would have sworn I was following updates from a hurling match. However, it was Galway vs Tipp in the round 4A football Qualifiers. As it was between two very high profile hurling counties, it was an easy mistake to make.

It is a rarity that a football match [..]

1. Will the Wexford bandwagon roll on to Croker?

The story of the Summer so far has been the exploit of Liam Dunne and his Wexford hurlers as they have travelled through the back door to reach the All-Ireland quarter final. This Sunday in Thurles they take on Limerick, who are still reeling over the chances they wasted against Cork in the Mu [..]

Seadna Morey, Tony Kelly, Colm Galvin all having impressive ou [..]

Dubs are dominant once again

It has been said so many times but it’s true. Dublin are completely dominant in Leinster and there is no one anywhere near their standard.
