Dublin's Bernard Brogan, who is hotly tipped to be named Footballer of the Year, is one of a top class list of stars who will be aiming for All-Ireland glory at the MBNA Kick Fada event in Bray Emmets GAA Club this Saturday.

John Brennan from Carlow fought off stiff competition to be crowned the MBNA Kick Fada All Ireland champion for 2007 earlier this afternoon at Bray Emmets GAA Club with a winning kick of 67 metres.

The Ireland panel for the first ever Ladies International Rules Series will be whittled down to 20 players after Saturday's final trial in Mullingar.

MEATH recovered from a nine-point deficit in ordinary time only to be denied victory by a late equaliser at the end of extra time in this TG4 Ladies Football All-Ireland quarter-final in Portlaoise on Saturday, and favourites Galway were a very relieved team to survive.

CHAMPIONS Leinster are favourites to retain the Ladies Inter-provincial football title in Mullingar this weekend, but Munster are gunning for revenge after losing last year’s final.
