PM O'Sullivan: The Ciotóg Side - No use looking back on these big weekends of summer

Went out for the weekend. It lasted forever.

The first big weekend, as Arab Strap put it in a musical context.

Big is right: three intriguing hurling contests, two counties gone, six counties left. The two standing after tomorrow’s qualifiers become contenders. There is nothing like a rush of momentum to the head.
