BASKETBALL: UCC Demons v Neptune at Mardyke Arena UCC, Cork
Kieran Shannon: Cork's proud Basketball duo too good to go down?

Ballygunner v St Martin's - AIB GAA Hurling All-Ireland Senior Club Championship Semi-Final
S Kieran Shannon: For more green flags, hurling needs more black cards
The lack of a black card deterrent in club hurling is indicative of an ambiguity over the punishment

Golden State Warriors v Portland Trail Blazers
S Kieran Shannon: Steph Curry changed the game, and now the NBA might require a rethink
When the NBA's big names are spending so much time on the sidelines, it might start making economical sense to follow what the science as well as common sense is saying, and reduce the number of games

Dingle v St Finbarr's - AIB Munster GAA Football Senior Club Championship Final
S Kieran Shannon: Thurles epic deserved better ending than referee playing God
For 62 and a half minutes, the Munster final was a credit to everyone involved.

S Kieran Shannon: Sad that dual delights like Brian Hayes are now rare gems 
If it was possible Brian Hayes would have played Dublin twice in Croke Park this past summer.

Sportsfile Images of the Year 2020
Kieran Shannon: Five years on from magic of Tipp and Cavan, how many have drifted from Championship carnival?
Half-a-decade on, what chances we’ll again see counties with a similar profile to Cavan’s and Tipp’s back in an All-Ireland semi-final or even quarter-final?

Tue, 25 Nov, 2025

Ireland v Australia - IRFU 150 Test Match
S Kieran Shannon: Many Irish rugby relationships eventually strained. Not Farrell and Schmidt.
The host of new rugby books released in the last year tell us plenty about the dynamic between Andy Farrell and Joe Schmidt

Sat, 15 Nov, 2025

Abdul Wurie 12/4/2025
Kieran Shannon: Celtics delirium a wakeup call to the magic of a hoops weekend
It's a shame that multitudes have never taken in or even known of a national league basketball game in some gym near to them.

Tue, 11 Nov, 2025

Kobe McDonald celebrates winning with his father and head coach Ciaran McDonald 24/5/2024
S Kieran Shannon: GAA shouldn't cry about Kobe McDonald, it wins most of these sporting battles 
Kobe McDonald will be a loss to Mayo football, just as he was a loss to Mayo basketball.
