Serious game of Football in Newbridge, Errigal Ciaran 2-18 1-18 Dr Crokes, caught this man after for a wee chat, after his 1-06.
Reckons it would have been bad manners to miss that chance after Ruairi's pass sent him through, so he stuck it top bins. Canavan’s.

Thumbs up for Carry-On; a more than decent Christmas/Action movie, proper shades of Die Hard. 🎥 #Netflix
Black Doves on Netflix is very good tv! 📹
Carlow’s Ella Lily Hyland is bound to be another Irish star on the screens - quality! 👏

Crash course from Special Congress here 🎥 youtu.be/7VIXeHtmT7E?...
Ardee St Mary’s trail Cuala by seven points at half-time of their Leinster Club Senior Football final, as another of their efforts late in the half drops short - there’s quite often a tricky wind to deal with at hill 16, can they turn it all around?
The Na Fianna and Kilcormac Killoughey hurlers stroll around the Croke Park pitch ahead of their Leinster Club Senior Hurling Final later this evening - it’s half time of the Football final, in this Leinster club double-header.
St Mary’s have fought their way back into this - doing better in defence and kicked three pts on the spin in 90 secs after opening their account on 22 mins.
Cuala lead 1-07 to 0-03 at HT.
Meanwhile the Na Fianna and Kilcormac Killoughey boys stroll the field at HT before their Hurling final #GAA

On a busy day for the country, an incredibly important GAA Special Congress gets underway in Croke Park.
Jarlath Burns urges delegates to give their full focus to today’s motions despite other distractions outside these walls, and hands over to Jim Gavin of the FRC to make an opening address…
Tyler Dibling is a silky footballer, moves like Grealish with an extra burst of pace in the back-pocket. Just 18 and producing every week in the Premier League for Southampton
Agreed it’s been some audition tonight, should be a hat-trick inside 50 mins! First goal was all him, and two lovely (in different ways) finishes in the box after
Rasmus Højlund’s ceiling is so high, the technical quality of some of the goals he has scored are exquisite - hopefully something clicks for him under Amorim
Rory Beggan and Conor McManus join us on The Football Pod Club tomorrow - from Monaghan Football’s rise, to how far they can go, Beggan’s NFL journey and McManus’ future, it’s all covered. Live from 12pm, Wednesday 👇 youtu.be/rd1n72IW1hg?...
I very much enjoyed it!
Former Kildare footballer and Irish actor, Paul Mescal, as Lucius Verus Aurelius in Gladiator II.
Paul Mescal is some buachaill, you’d go to war with him if he dropped a speech like that in the dressing room before a Championship game. #Gladiator2 #MescalAbú 🏐
You won’t learn much from Ruben Amorim’s first match as Manchester United manager, a 1-1 draw - but it is great to see how Kieran McKenna has Ipswich purring, the Fermanagh man is flying it in the Premier League!
Covered Loughmore-Castleiney’s brilliant win against Éire Óg today in the Munster Club Senior Football semi-final, just seven days after Ballygunner knocked them out of the Hurling.
Two McGrath brothers and cousins; Liam-John-Noel-Ciaran-Brian all had a serious impact - reaction up on Off The Ball
Ah there’s no knowing what way it goes but you have to be delighted for a kid to get a chance to play pro sport - I’m as excited for him, as I am gutted for Meath, but maybe he’ll return when we’re in a better place and can bring an extra dimension!
Some brilliant quotes within that piece with Pat Gilroy by @kcsixtyseven.bsky.social, it’s well worth a read!
With the FRC’s new rules for Gaelic Football being voted on also at Special Congress, tomorrow week promises to be a day of reckoning in the GAA!
Pretty seismic GAA story tonight, Pat Gilroy has resigned from the board at Croke Park…
“The idea of a paid Dublin manager standing in front of players who aren't being paid. I can't get my head around it..."
Motion going forward to Special Congress on ‘paying managers’ 👇https://t.co/hYdqDWpOTP
‘Come on Ahane, the spuds are boiling.’ - the clubs brilliant war cry is captured by a pot of boiling potatoes within the crest, apparently uttered first by the mother of the legendary Limerick hurler Mick Mackey. That’s a doozy 😂
This a beautiful body of work by @adammoynihan.bsky.social - documenting a glorious collection of art, history and the various weird and wonderful things that matter most www.irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/ar...
Armstrong has all the materials to make it in the AFL - Meath Football has lost another generational talent.
What a brilliant opportunity for a super young fella 👇
I wasn’t sure what way that would go, but I thought it would be closer - there’s merit in both sides of the argument
