Church bells are set to ring out in honour of legendary GAA figure Sam Maguire thanks to the Church of Ireland parish in West Cork where he is buried.

This September, Stephen Cluxton will aim to become only the second man in GAA history to lift the Sam Maguire Cup on three consecutive occasions, the first being Wexford football captain Seán O’Kennedy between 1915 and ’17.

Excitement is building in Dublin ahead of the football team's homecoming this evening.

In the end, it’s another Sam Maguire for Dublin as Kerry get the blues.

The code of Gaelic football evolves more regularly than fashion trends in Milan these days but maybe we, as people of the Association, are being naive in thinking tradition will take a back-seat during this time-period of constant game-change and -tweaking.
