AT 12.40pm on Saturday José Mourinho finally revealed what some of us have suspected for some time — that his top priority for 2007 is the Champions League.

CLARE 2-21 Limerick 0-10. Limerick manager resigns. Antrim 9-39 Roscommon 0-5. Galway 7-18 Laois 2-13. Waterford 3-22 Westmeath 1-14. Three more lop-sided results from this past weekend’s hurling action in the All-Ireland qualifiers and Christy Ring Cup.

JOSE MOURINHO opens his European campaign tonight with a promise that he will not walk out on Chelsea if he wins the Champions League.
