Football’s new rules are intriguing, but hurling remains unrivaled. This weekend’s clashes will test both sports’ biggest contenders

If anything, I always had a grá for Galway, as most people in Clare had in the 1980s and early 1990s before we were successful

When a Cork fella said to me on the way out of Páirc Uí Chaoimh that the referee 'fleadhed' them, all I could do was laugh....

The Munster senior colleges decider is down for a decision on Saturday. 

The games are coming thick and fast. And any team that lost over the weekend is suddenly in a scramble to get points on the board in such a competitive competition. And that’s the way any league should be.

The public are just craving hurling action, itching for something to latch onto to stir up the debate.

Had the disparity between the sides anything to do with the comparative logistical circumstances of both groups.

Na Fianna and Sarsfields, two teams full of pace and skill, are suited to Croke Park plus in Liam Gordon, there's an official who will let the game flow. The All-Ireland club hurling final should be a quality match. 

Everyone in Watergrasshill will smile for the rest of their lives when they think of that match-winning moment.

What might happen in January's All-Ireland final? It could be a classic. I’d say that the bookies will go evens the pair, even if Na Fianna deserve to be marginal favourites.
