'Too much hand passing, too much lateral play' - The case for more Gaelic football rule changes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
KEVIN MCSTAY HAS insisted that Gaelic football still needs ‘some little adjustments and tweaks’ and has pleaded for patience with those who believe the game is fine as it is. After an exciting championship which yielded novel All-Ireland winners, Mayo and a series of breakthrough provincial winners – Roscommon, Westmeath and Armagh – more rules tweaks are coming. A total of 15 games from the top tier of the Ryan Cup, the third level league, will be used as a vehicle to trial a suite of ‘rule adj
Galway and Kilmacud Crokes star Shane Walsh ruled out for rest of year (opens the original)
Read excerpt
GALWAY FOOTBALL STAR Shane Walsh has opted to go under the knife and will be out of action for Kilmacud Crokes for the remainder of the year. Walsh has been a notable absentee from the 2023 All-Ireland champions’ lineup in their march to the PTSB Dublin SFC 1 quarter-finals. The 33-year-old attacker, who has won county, Leinster and All-Ireland medals since joining Crokes in 2022, started four of Galway’s five Championship games last summer before undergoing surgery. The exact nature of the oper
Louth goalkeeper and Dublin duo impress at NFL kicking programme (opens the original)
Read excerpt
LOUTH GOALKEEPER TIERNAN Markey is among a number of rising GAA stars who have attempted to impress as NFL kickers. Ardee man Markey, along with talented Dubliners Sam Moloney and James McCaghy, made it to the last 20 of the Ireland’s Kicking King talent spotting programme. The series, which ran throughout August at 10 different venues nationwide, culminated with 20 players getting the opportunity to kick at half time of last Saturday’s Aer Lingus College Football Classic at Aviva Stadium. A gro

BALLYMUN KICKHAMS APPROACHED last weekend’s Dublin senior football round two encounter with Lucan as 1/12 favourites to win. Basically, if you wagered a tenner on opponents Lucan Sarsfields at 13/2, then you were probably going to win precisely zero. As it happened, Lucan could, and perhaps should, have won. In the fifth minute of stoppage time, they led by a point and were on the verge of a landmark win. John Small hadn’t been particularly influential for Ballymun up to then but suddenly came b
Mayo's 'decentralisation' drive may spark new frontier in quest for the missing 1% (opens the original)
Read excerpt
ANDY MORAN GOT it wrong about David McBrien on the day of the All-Ireland final; he doesn’t actually work in construction. The Mayo manager referenced his centre-back in a memorable post-match press conference when detailing the extraordinary sacrifices that some of his players had made in their pursuit of Sam. “David McBrien moved from Dublin,” said Moran. “If anyone knows of a construction job coming up, can we get him one? He’s had no job for six months, moved home to try to do this today.” M
