TOMMY WALSH has secured his desired move to Sydney Swans on the final day of the AFL trade window yesterday despite St Kilda’s attempts to persuade him to remain.

THE green and gold malaise that was the story of the Championship weekend wasn’t merely limited to the borders of the Kingdom.

THE prospect of a clash of the two biggest Irish stars Down Under was wrecked yesterday when Setanta Ó hAilpín was unceremoniously dropped from the Carlton Blues line-up for this weekend’s AFL showdown with Sydney.

WHILE Championship football can be the most unforgiving of sporting arenas — just ask Joe Kernan this morning — Australian Rules isn’t too far behind its northern hemisphere cousin.

SETANTA Ó hAilpín’s training-ground fight yesterday with Carlton team-mate Cameron Cloke has led to the former Young Hurler of the Year being suspended indefinitely by his club — but the punishment may not end there.
