A GAA column, you say? Not today, folks. Sure, we are smack bang in the middle of another whirlwind Championship season. Cork’s 20-year quest to take Liam MacCarthy back to Leeside is in full swing. Two of the provincial football champions are known, with two rip-roaring deciders this weekend. Armagh lock horns with Donegal in Clones and Louth and Meath clash in the most anticipated Leinster showpiece since Joe Sheridan robbed the Wee men 15 years ago.

EOGHAN FRAYNE knows that Meath’s dream Leinster SFC semi-final win over Dublin could turn into a nightmare against Louth. The Royals secured their first victory over the Sky Blues in 15 years last month, stunning Dessie Farrell’s men 0-23 to 1-16 in Portlaoise. It was the Dubs’ first provincial loss since the last-four defeat to Meath in 2010, when Frayne was just SEVEN years old. Now aged 22, he starred with 0-11 in the shock of the year that blew the Leinster SFC open.

SLIGO skipper Niall Murphy slammed the state of the Markievicz Park pitch before it was shut.

Tony McEntee’s men will open their Tailteann Cup campaign against Tipperary in Tubbercurry. Works have already begun on relaying Markievicz, which should be ready for action towards the middle of next year.

The Armagh ace failed to make Kieran McGeeney’s matchday squad as they bagged Sam Maguire for the second time in the county’s history by beating Galway. Forkhill clubman Hall wore the No 29 jersey on the day and took his place on the bench knowing he would not be getting on to play.
