The tradition of honouring silver jubilee All-Ireland senior winning teams at Croke Park is set to return this July. Although can you say for certain all of Clare’s 1997 team will line out alongside each other on the Croke Park sod?

A pioneering team like that great Banner group, it’s Armagh’s turn in five years and among them there have been differences too. Not just political – corner-back and SDLP candidate for Newry and Armagh Justin McNulty won't be able to count on every eligible team-mate's vote in Thursday week’s local elections.
