GAELIC football is not one of my preferred sports and hasn’t been for some time. There are still a few teams who play it in the right spirit, Cork and Kerry among those, as are Galway, but for the most part I’ve grown sick of the cynicism.

TWO first-half Clare goals made all the difference in this exciting ladies football NFL Division Two final in Cusack Park yesterday. Donegal fought the good fight, but Clare’s goals made the difference.

KERRY have set up a Munster title showdown with arch-rivals Cork in the TG4 Ladies Football Championship following an extra-time victory over Waterford in Saturday’s semi-final at Dungarvan, 5-8 to 3-9.
