In expectation of Kerry and Dublin provincial wins, Kerry won't meet a 2025 Division 1 team before playoffs (Cork, Clare, Monaghan, Meath, Louth) In contrast, Donegal can will have had four or five games against 2025 Div 1 opponents to reach same stage.
This is a good insight into what it takes to get Croke Park ready for rugby from the pitch manager, who just happens to be a Northampton supporter! (via @KeysColm) m.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-g…
Sam Maguire Cup draw Seeds 1/2: Kerry, Clare, Galway, Mayo, Armagh, Donegal, Dublin, Louth Seeds 3: Derry, Tyrone, Roscommon, Monaghan Seeds 4: Cavan, Cork, Meath, Westmeath
What Shane O'Donnell continues to do on a hurling field after what he's been through. Superb again today when Clare needed leadership.

No Tony Kelly for Clare against Cork today. Replaced on the squad by John Conneally. Darragh Lohan also out, Sean Wrynn in.
Cusack Park in Ennis to host the Munster football final on Sunday week, 1.45, after coin toss went Clare's way.
Limerick under pressure at HT. 10 wides to Clare's four tells its own tale. Shane O'Donnell a force of nature in the pine forest that is Limerick's defence.
The quality of Dara O Baoill's finishing in those situations is quite something. Getting the weight and pace right to hit the target over a scrambling goalkeeper not straightforward.
Risk always greater than reward for travelling goalkeepers. Even Paddy Cullen found that out in a different time!
The Throw-In football show: Meath’s lack of belief and Mickey Harte vs Jim McGuinness @KeysColm @clerkin_d @slatterywill Spotify: buff.ly/4axx6PL Apple: buff.ly/3Q2P7gE Podfollow: buff.ly/4axwTvX
21,445 in Croke Park for Meath and Dublin. Not much to engage them either. Stephen Cluxton not finding kick-out targets (5) about the only thing unpredictable so far.
Monaghan 0-7 to 0-5 ahead in Clones but quality of Patrick Lynch's frees into the wind top quality. 5 from 5. Cavan right in it.
Big surprise in Clones! Rory Beggan starts for Monaghan. No one saw that coming..
Trials always need proper lab conditions. Jim Gavin said he'd 'park' any previous personal opinions on playing rules for this process. Was opposed to advance mark initially.

Had a bit of everything and that sets up a summer of intrigue. Rare to see Dublin wide open as they were.

Mickey Harte has now won league titles in his first year with all three counties he has managed. 2003 - Tyrone Div 1 2021 - Louth Div 4 (joint, no final) 2024 - Derry Div 1
Derry Div 1 league champions, win penalty shootout v Dublin 3-1. Two great saves from Odhran Lynch who had the Clones experience from last year.

Tonight “Murder of a GAA Chairman” airs on @RTEOne at 9:35pm It examines the investigation into our late chairman Sean Brown’s murder and how the Brown family has been left campaigning for truth behind unanswered questions.

We bitch about media access all the time in the GAA. It doesn't make the slightest difference to the teams, as Wicklow showed over the weekend. irishtimes.com/sport/gaelic-g…
Here @KeysColm asks how Kerry & Dublin would fare if they took Cavan's starting spot in Ulster. Model says Kerry would win 18% of the time. Dublin would win 34% of the time That compares with Kerry 90% in Munster and Dublin 99% in Leinster m.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-g…
@KeysColm His runs from deep but always seems to have complete composure in front of goal. Derry clinical

Odd how openness and transparency involves shutting down basic reporting by a small local media. But it's an era where GAA units are shutting down/strictly rationing media access of all sorts. This stuff is all part of a wider piece. The GAA itself suffers in the long term.
'As the agenda for County Committee has been reframed in 2024 to allow more open and transparent engagement with clubs, it is no longer appropriate for the media to attend.' ✍️@JohnFogartyIrl irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/arid…
