GAA have league and championship wrong way around

Watching the national leagues over the weekend, it not only felt a bit like summer – it felt what summer should be a bit more like.

Saturday night and in Newry and Cork the locals come in their droves for the visit of the reigning All Ireland champions. Dublin survive a sticky patch to win. Kilkenny survive a much stickier and trickier one that left us all enthralled.

The next day in Salthill and we’re reminded if there’s one show better than a Joe show, it’s when Bubbles joins him on stage for the encore.
