Ireland were cannibalised by their own emotions as the irrepressible energy slowly lapsed with fatigue.

Dublin's victory over Carlow was marked by a remarkable performance, with twelve different scorers contributing to a 14-point win, securing their promotion to Division 1A.

Teams are getting killed on this. It's like a power play in ice hockey. One miscue off the tee and 1-7 flies over and past you in seven or eight minutes.

The star-studded trio were box-office television on The Sunday Game during the GAA championship for nearly three decades, ably assisted and guided by Lyster's genius as host.

Waterford are back down to the Allianz Division 1B of the hurling league after a four-point defeat in Azzuri Walsh Park.

After electrifying the game as a 16 and 17-year-old, when it was announced Kobe McDonald was going at the end of this season, the Mayo people's disappointment was like the time the Templenoe parish priest told his flock that Pat Spillane's first baby was a girl.

Ireland are Triple Crown winners for the 15th time thanks to a 12th consecutive win over Scotland, whose long search for success in Dublin will stretch into its 18th year before they get another chance to end their dismal record.

There are lots of big and interesting football games on live television this weekend. We're getting to the point in the year where the good teams are starting to hit their straps, when results have consequences. Why then, do I get the feeling we'll all feel underwhelmed by Sunday night?

Connor Parsons of Bohemians, right, celebrates with teammates Dayle Rooney, left, and Patrick Hickey after scoring their side's first goal during the SSE Airtricity Premier Division match against Shamrock Rovers at Dalymount Park.

The glamorous brunette was on The Late Late Show GAA special on Friday night. The Sam Maguire was in the middle of the foyer. She said everyone was walking up to it, touching it, getting photos.

Ballygunner cemented their place among the upper echelons of club hurling with their second All-Ireland crown despite not hitting top gear in a 1-20 to 1-14 victory over Galway kingpins Loughrea in Croke Park this afternoon. Loughrea got plenty right in the first half with Darren Shaughnessy's exquisite 26th-minute goal leaving them just one behind at half time having kept a lot of Ballygunner's big guns quiet, 0-12 to 1-8.

They say sport and politics don't mix. Last week's draw placing Ireland alongside the Israel national football team in the UEFA Nations League has been greeted with a shrug from officialdom.

Andy Farrell has unveiled the true extend of Ireland's injury issues ahead of the upcoming Six Nations as he issues a recall for Harry Byrne, Robert Baloucoune, Tom Stewart and Jeremy Loughman.

Dingle are not the greatest-ever All-Ireland club football champions. That's still the preserve of Corofin, who did the only three-in-a-row between 2018 and 2020, or the Crossmaglen Rangers team that won three in four years between 1997 and 2000.

Expectation comes with the territory when a team makes vast improvements in a short space of time and Meath football boss Robbie Brennan knows that the shoe is on the other foot this year. The Royals went into last year with little fanfare, but Brennan quickly turned the tide after taking the reins from Colm O'Rourke, and they picked up massive championship wins over Dublin, eventual All-Ireland champions Kerry and Galway in a roller-coaster summer.
