Kingston: Not to undermine it

1 week ago | rte.ie | Conor Neville

Hype levels have gone into overdrive in Cork after their blistering finish to the league. On the Sunday Game, Anthony Daly was prepared to call it that Cork are now All-Ireland favourites, supplanting Limerick and reigning champions Clare. The atmosphere of yearning on Leeside is nearly comparable to Liverpool at the end of 2019. "I grew up in Cork assuming Cork's place was at the pinnacle of hurling," said the poet Theo Dorgan in 'The Game' documentary.
No one could have envisaged this in 2017

The officer class in Limerick has been re-jigged for the 2025 campaign. The most decorated captain in the history of hurling has handed over responsibilities - Declan Hannon passing the baton to Cian Lynch. The 32-year old centre-back may have repetitive strain injury from lifting so much silverware over the past seven years, after an unprecedented six Munster titles on the trot and five All-Ireland crowns.

Cork and Tipp seeking to bridge long gaps in league

The last time the Munster old firm contested a senior national title, the old Hogan Stand was only built a year and the original Páirc Uí Chaoimh was over a decade and a half away from construction. Christy Ring's hat-trick wasn't sufficient to stop Tipperary claiming their ninth league title in the Cork Athletic Grounds - the same site as Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Ballintemple - at the end of the 1959-60 campaign.

Micko: A true giant who built an unforgettable legacy

Mick O'Dwyer, who has died at the age of 88, stands unquestionably as one of the true giants in the history of Gaelic football. Across a very long inter-county career as both player and manager, stretching from 1956 until 2013, O'Dwyer won a combined total of 12 senior All-Ireland football titles.

Wexford players wanted to set record straight

3 weeks ago | rte.ie | Conor Neville

It may have been a testing week for some Wexford folk in high profile roles, but the county's football manager isn't likely to be subject to a confidence vote anytime soon. John Hegarty's side are preparing for a big day out in Croker after winning seven from seven in Division 4, securing promotion with two weekends to spare. Twelve months ago, they were denied promotion to the third tier in gratuitously unlucky circumstances.

Ireland and the Nations League - a trying relationship

1 month ago | rte.ie | Conor Neville

"Bulgaria stand between us and our League B status," cries the RTÉ promo for this week's promotion/ relegation tie. As marketing drives go, it's not exactly of the 'it all comes down to this' variety. The rugby crowd may have a gift for making every fixture sound seismic and epoch-defining - even the Emerging Ireland tour is taking on a new significance now - but the soccer folk aren't infused by the same giddy chutzpah.
