Martin Farragher came off the bench to score 1-1 in his inter-county debut as holders Galway beat Sligo at Markievicz Park to book their place in another Connacht final.

Rory Beggan’s converted free in the fifth minute of stoppage time sealed a dramatic comeback for Monaghan champions Scotstown and put them through to the AIB Ulster club SFC final.

Kevin McStay is to accept a 12-week ban arising from his actions in Saturday's Super-8 meeting of Roscommon and Donegal.

In the Páirc Uí Chaoimh media area after Saturday’s Munster football final the record books were being consulted and scoring sequences examined.

Five Munster finals, four wins and one draw; Éamonn Fitzmaurice’s championship managerial record against Cork is almost as good as it gets.

Here are the main talking points in the GAA world over the weekend.

Reigning Footballer of the Year Andy Moran has admitted he acted out of character when he remonstrated with referee Maurice Deegan last month and says he was “disappointed” with his actions.

Galway football captain Damien Comer has credited Paddy Tally with bringing greater directness to the county’s attacking play.

If the latest row between the Dublin senior football management and RTÉ has confirmed one thing (other than just confirm how much the relationship has soured and how petty it has become), it’s that manager Jim Gavin does indeed watch a lot of inter-county football matches.

For a team renowned for its defensive prowess, the 17 points and four goal chances Slaughtneil offered up to Kilcar last time out has given the management plenty to think about ahead of Sunday’s AIB Ulster club SFC final.

It’s almost time for Jim Gavin to go into hibernation. From the day after the All-Ireland final to the start of the 2018 League, his public utterings will be minimal. Dealing with media, he once claimed, was the most difficult part of his position. From the bizarre to the brilliant, John Fogarty picks 10 memorable Gavinisms

Say what you want about the quality of fare served up this summer, but where post-match interviews are concerned, GAA followers have been spoilt.

It might be considered adding insult to injury in Kilkenny, but Brian Cody faces a possible 12-week ban for an exchange with fourth official Justin Heffernan during the first half of Saturday’s qualifier.

Ciarán Kilkenny says the Dublin team want to move on from the Diarmuid Connolly controversy just as the player himself has done.

it might have been Jim Gavin who appeared in front of the media on Sunday but he could have been mistaken for Little Britain’s Vicky Pollard with his “yeah but, no but” defence of Diarmuid Connolly, writes John Fogarty.

Historically, Cork supporters usually reserve hints of departing the scene of a football crime at half-time for days of trimmings at the hands of Kerry.

A chequered past, to say the least.

What does it say when yet again a match official is unable to take matters into his own hands during a game, asks John Fogarty.

Donegal 2-5 Dublin 1-8: No harm to either team’s unbeaten records, but no foul, either — how Ciaran Branagan felt Donegal had earned a last-gasp free to tie this game was mystifying.

A disputable additional time free ensured Donegal extended their unbeaten record in Ballybofey to 16 games.

Derry 2-12 Monaghan 1-13: Dessie Mone suffered a suspected broken wrist as Monaghan lost out to Derry for a place in Saturday’s McKenna Cup final.

Tipperary GAA chiefs have been urged to nail down Liam Kearns as the county’s senior football team manager for 2017 — amid loose speculation that his native Kerry could make an approach for his services.

Here’s a briefing on some of the stories and issues highlighted on irishexaminer.com today

Kerry await on August 28.

Galway 3-16 Roscommon 0-14: Sit up and take notice, was the Galway message. And in clinical style was it delivered.

Tyrone 1-17 Cavan 0-15: Mickey Harte has spent the bones of nine years trying to fashion another All-Ireland-winning team, but he felt obliged to dampen the escalating talk of a serious summer assault yesterday after a comfortable win over Cavan in the Division Two final.

Diving will not be upgraded to a black or red card this year, as the GAA’s playing rules committee requires more time to study the area.

Derry 4-6 Tyrone 1-16: Derry boss Damian Barton was left bemused after a controversial second-half red card helped Tyrone to victory in an pulsating McKenna Cup clash before before 5,179 spectators at Owenbeg.

Tyrone 1-10 Meath 0-11: Two teams virtually crippled by the fear of losing finally threw off the chains at Healy Park, and it was Tyrone who found a way to handle the pressure.

Louth 1-16 Leitrim 0-11: They may not be All-Ireland contenders any time soon but Louth continue to show an uncanny knack for churning out talented young forwards.

Even if there is a sense in Tipperary this weekend of stars aligning, of providence, of a full tide turning and of this being a cusp game for a special bunch of players, they will still have to go out and produce the game of their lives to bring down the All-Ireland champions.
