A Slippery Slope

The parade saluting the U.S. Army's 250th birthday went ahead and the rain pretty much held off. And that was good. The idea of a parade for such a big birthday was never a bad one. The manner in which President Trump's own birthday celebration became entwined in the grand march was certainly a complication, but it didn't ultimately mean much. The president looked a little glum betimes on his 79th birthday.

Galway claw back 8-point h-t deficit to beat Armagh

1 week ago | irishecho.com | P.J. Cunningham

Galway 2-22; Armagh 0-27 They say that few things concentrate the mind like a hanging, and the gallows were being built for Galway at half-time in this pulsating clash at Breffni Park on Saturday when Armagh held an eight-point interval lead. Suddenly there was no hiding place for Pádraic Joyce or any of his much vaunted team - it was a case of do or die at this early stage of the competition.

Many people felt they could predict the outcome of this match on one factor - would Dublin skipper Con O’Callaghan be fit to play, or not.
