Today was the last big day of the inter-county football year and over 44,000 turned up to Croke Park this afternoon for the LGFA All-Ireland finals. I didn’t get there in time to see the Junior or Intermediate deciders but I was there in the Upper Cusack for the Senior decider between Meath and Kerry. The Kingdom’s march to this […]

Right, time to box away the cold and the wet and the wind and the loss to Kerry last weekend and shift the focus instead to what’s on this coming weekend. There’s a raft of matches involving the county on then, including an All-Ireland final. Chronological order makes most sense in listing these games so let’s start with Saturday. First […]
