Ireland XV hopefuls to get an outing against England 'A' in February (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THE RUGBY FOOTBALL Union of England have confirmed an upcoming fixture against Ireland XV in early 2027. The two sides will meet at Sandy Park, home of the Exeter Chiefs, on Saturday, 20 February, with a 7pm kick-off time. This will be the third time the two have met since the reformation of the England ‘A’ side in 2024. The two met last February in Limerick, and it was a chastening evening for Cullie Tucker’s Ireland side as they lost 52-14. One of the players to actually show up well in that g

A PENNY FOR the thoughts of the Balla player who was standing on the Ballyhaunis pitch in their relegation play-off against Ballaghaderreen on Sunday, when he spotted Andy Moran coming off the bench and heading his direction. Really, he was on a hiding to nothing. What do you do in such a situation, up against the most popular man in Mayo right now, possibly ever? Rough him up? What credit would you get for doing that to a 42-year-old man, albeit one that owns two gyms and is in serious physical

Read excerpt
ONE OF ARMAGH’S longest-serving players, Rory Grugan, has announced his retirement from county football. The Ballymacnab man made an announcement on his Instagram account, writing, ‘The greatest honour of my life.

He made his debut in a Dr McKenna Cup game against Down in 2011 after being a key figure i

Read excerpt
FORMER MONAGHAN BOSS Seamus ‘Banty’ McEnaney could be in line for a return to take charge of his native county, a post he previously held twice. The 42 understands McEnaney is in the process of pulling together a backroom team to potentially fill the vacant post. Some coaches have been subject to direct approaches, while others have been sounded out by county board intermediaries. McEnaney could face some competition for the role. Andy McEntee, who was a selector under Gabriel Bannigan in 2026,
Kilcoo's reign is brought down, super Andy off the bench, Morris the hero in Tipperary (opens the original)
Read excerpt
- Compiled by Declan Bogue and Fintan O’Toole You have to go back 15 years to a point where Kilcoo Eoghan Ruadh were not involved in the Big Dance of Down club football. Since then, they have hoovered up all but one Frank O’Hare Cup, the 2018 title going to Burren when they lost that final. On Sunday evening, Burren, managed by former Tyrone All-Ireland winner Collie Holmes, hit 4-16 to Kilcoo’s 1-20 and booked their place in the final. They were helped by two converted penalties from Odhran Mur
