Anthony Daly: Let's see if Kilkenny can come up to Limerick's new standard 

The anger around the fixing of this game in Cork kind of sums up how this league has been – boring and predictable and devoid of any real energy and excitement

Last Saturday night, I spent a grand evening in Innishannon at a fundraising event for the Valley Rovers GAA club. Joined by my Irish Examiner podcast compadres, TJ Ryan and Mark Landers, the panel was also made up of Jimmy Barry-Murphy, Shane Dowling, Tommy Dunne, and Dan Shanahan. All top-class guys.

It was very entertaining and very productive too for the club, but there was a tinge of sadness to the night as well with the club having lost the great commentator Paudie Palmer last year. Paudie was a Templenoe man but the Valleys was his club in Cork and the community loved him down there.
