What's on the wishlist of Brian Lohan and Pat Ryan this weekend? 

The games can swing wildly and there are often twists and turns before matters are decided.

Antrim players are giving their heart and soul to represent their clubs on the county stage and fully deserve, in my view, a few days where they get to prepare like professionals.

Is this the point when the loss of Caroline Currid could impact Limerick?

The way our year is structured now works okay for the clubs consistently challenging in the latter stages of competitions, but it’s not much good to the clubs that endure early exits, with their championship involvement more or less over as soon as it commenced.

Seamie Callanan traded heavily in goals and brilliant flashes of skill, but he stocked a lot more in his locker.

We should never underestimate the fuel that the previous year's pain can provide to push groups to higher levels of performance

Eight of the last 10 meetings between Galway and Tipp have been settled by two points or less. And nearly every one has given us moments to treasure, whatever side of the bridge you’re on

I’d imagine John Kiely will be heartened by the fighting spirit his team has shown in losing by the minimum to Clare and battling to the bitter end to secure a point last Sunday

Momentum the big prize in the Páirc, not a place in Cork-Tipp folklore.
