Organisation key to Kilkenny success
The raw talent available to Kilkenny means the county will always be capable of producing teams [...]
Down progressed to the All-Ireland Football Final by squeezing out Kildare in a game that came down to the final kick in Croke Park on Sunday. It was a game filled with unusual strategies of varying effect.
Down lack width early

It’s been another busy week of sport and we have Basketball, Rugby League, MMA, and Athletics to get to but first some Football.

Dublin’s backs dominate early
The game really couldn’t have started any better for Dublin and I don’t mean in attack. Dublin’s full-back unit of [...]
There was a lot more going on than a Tri-Nations match in South Africa on Saturday. We’ll get to that shortly, first to an election candidate who tried to get a sporting hero to back her.
This not how you get a Sports star to back your campaign
Take a look at the photo above. On the [...]
Welcome to our LIVE coverage of tonight’s match between UCD and Sporting Fingal in the Airtricity League.
