Inside Track with John McIntyreTHE Connacht senior football championship kicks off this weekend but, remarkably, none of the five home participants will be heading into the chase for the JJ Nestor Cup on the front foot.

Inside Track with John McIntyreIT’S not the way either the Galway hurlers or footballers would have wished to conclude their National League programmes. Between them, they failed to register a single point from the final two rounds of the competition, leaving both teams on the back foot heading into the championship. Up to a few weeks ago, the Galway footballers were bombing along.

Why is the Government waiting for further guidance from Nphet when the evidence is incontrovertible . . . Omicron is only a head cold. Time for our leaders to stand up and drop most of the Covid restrictions. Now!
RT @BrophShane: In a pandemic, surely there is one person that could be tasked with updating the Covid app each day. Nothing updated since…
RT @peterswellman: Rumour has it the Galway U20s gave the dressing room a lick of paint on top of a sweep and mop.
