'Too much made of Jimmy's winning matches' - McGuinness

3 weeks ago | ca.sports.yahoo.com | John Haughey

'Jimmy's winning matches' was blasting out from the Clones PA system even if the saviour himself did not appear overly enamoured with Donegal's unofficial GAA anthem. "That's wrong. The players are winning the matches and that's something that gets lost in the ether.

Donegal retained the Ulster Football title by edging out All-Ireland champions Armagh in 2-23 to 0-28 after extra-time in another titanic struggle at Clones. Unlike last year, this final meeting didn't require penalties but it was another epic encounter between two well-matched teams.

Gill, then aged 17, stunned the athletics world by clocking one minute 57.86 to earn a runaway 800m victory at the Belfast meeting last year - four seconds inside her previous personal best - as she broke the 45-year-old European under-18 record.

It seems inconceivable that the drama of his career Grand Slam-clinching Masters triumph could be matched but Rory McIlroy still has much golf to play in a 2025 which now seems replete with possibilities for Northern Ireland's sporting hero. McIlroy plans to be back in action next week in New Orleans when he and close friend Shane Lowry defend their Zurich Classic title, which is an event that does not have world ranking points.
Armagh expected Antrim 'fight' and got it - Forker

1 month ago | sports.yahoo.com | John Haughey

Armagh captain Aidan Forker insisted afterwards that the All-Ireland champions had expected to find themselves "in a fight" in west Belfast. That made a certain degree of sense. If the Saffrons' players weren't going to be fired up on this day of all days after fighting the 'Corrigan or nowhere' campaign, all during a period when they suffered relegation back to Division Four, then there was going to be something seriously amiss with them.

Feb 16, 2025 | sports.yahoo.com | John Haughey

Michael Murphy was at the centre of instant drama on his return to Donegal duty as he helped the home side maintain their winning start to Division One of the Allianz Football League by beating All-Ireland champions Armagh 0-21 to 1-10. Jim McGuinness felt the need to introduce the 35-year-old for his first inter-county action in 981 days after Armagh had cut Donegal's six-point half-time advantage to only two within nine minutes of the restart.
