5 days ago | rte.ie | Peter Branigan

1 week ago | fm104.ie | Peter Branigan

All Sport Shamrock Rovers missed the chance to extend the SSE Airtricity Men’s Premier Division lead but Stephen Bradley will be more than satisfied to see his team six points clear going into the summer break. They were held to a scoreless draw by Galway at Tallaght Stadium this evening - a third consecutive draw between the clubs at the west Dublin venue - but Bradley will know his side could have taken all the points on offer.

1 week ago | q102.ie | Peter Branigan

Dublin have missed out on a place in the Leinster final after coming up short by 29 points to 3-15 against Galway at Parnell Park. The Dubs produced a dud day at just the wrong time in a game they had to win to make the decider, with some poor shooting, and wayward long balls letting the visitors off the hook.

All Sport Dublin showed some battling qualities before ultimately falling to Kilkenny on a 5-19 to 3-21 scoreline in their Leinster round-robin clash at UPMC Nowlan Park. The Dubs travelled in hope rather than expectation having won their opening three games in the province, but four first-half goals from the Cats put them in complete control of the contest until mid-way through the second half.

All Sport Dublin know a point from their remaining two fixtures will guarantee them a top-three finish in the Leinster Championship for 2025 after beating Antrim 3-25 to 0-19 at Corrigan Park. But Niall Ó Ceallacháin and his players will have more ambition than that with a place in the provincial final for the second consecutive year also on the line in their remaining two fixtures.

Paris Paralympian Tiarnán O'Donnell was born with two legs. As a Paralympian, he's looking to bring attention to what he perceives as a failing in Ireland versus other countries in the European Union. But more on that later. His journey to the pinnacle of his sport is a fascinating one. As a child, O'Donnell began to notice pain in one leg after a sports day. Little did he know, that little niggle would change the course of his life. "This limp didn't go away," he says.

Goal-hungry Dublin storm past Wexford in Leinster Championship

1 month ago | fm104.ie | Peter Branigan

Dublin made it two from in the Leinster Championship with a storming second half comeback against Wexford at Parnell Park. The Dubs came into this game with just one championship defeat against Wexford since 2008, which came a decade later at Wexford Park, but the games between the counties have been super tight for the last decade and a half. This one was no different with second half goals proving critical for the Metropolitans as they continued their 100% start to the provincial campaign.
