New rules lead to hooter controversy at Clones

4 days ago | ca.sports.yahoo.com | John Haughey

For a few brief moments it appeared as though we had one of those almighty GAA rows on our hands. Following a stirring second-half comeback in Sunday's Ulster Football quarter-final, after nailing one moments earlier, Dessie Ward had just missed another two-point attempt which would have brought Monaghan level in the final seconds against Donegal after the Farney men had trailed by eight in the first half.
McIlroy's 2025 - could Portrush top Augusta win?

1 week ago | ca.sports.yahoo.com | John Haughey

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 week 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.

"I'm 20 years old, a professional athlete, should be in the prime of my life and I can't even put my socks on."Nick Griggs recalls a period he admits frightened him, but one he is emerging from after resuming running over the last fortnight. It will be some weeks, however, before he is able to do a full training load.

Murphy's instant impact as Donegal punish Armagh

2 months ago | 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.

The 20-year-old is scheduled to leave Musgrave Park Hospital in Belfast on Friday. His knee trouble began when he was knocked to the ground while waiting at a congested start line before the under-23 race at the European Cross Country Championships in Antalya on 8 December.

Griggs among large NI contingent at Euro Cross Country

Dec 6, 2024 | sports.yahoo.com | John Haughey

The precociously talented Nick Griggs will have another crack at European Cross Country Championship glory on Sunday but he will be far from the only Northern Ireland athlete in action in Turkey. Remarkably, a third of the 36-strong Ireland team selected for the Antalya tests have Northern Ireland/Ulster roots.
