The test, held at the 4.259-kilometre Circuit Zandvoort in the Netherlands, marked Dunne’s first experience behind the wheel of an F1 machine, a significant milestone that further strengthens his ties with the iconic British outfit.

I believe it is now time for the GAA to have a gap of two weeks between games for every county in the hurling championship. We saw it last week between Waterford and Clare. Clare, after having a massive struggle with Cork, had to go out and play a fresh Waterford team. Waterford were in an even worse situation this week, only getting six days to recover and taking on a Limerick side after a two-week rest.

We were all looking forward to Cork and Tipp on Sunday but it was ruined from the very start. As we all know, teams are always hyped up, ready for battle, a good bit of pushing and shoving. Or what used be called a schemozzle. Darragh McCarthy, only 19, was very unlucky to be the one sent off. From what I could see there was at least five players from both sides having a cut at one another. How you could pick one individual out? Seems a bit unfair to me. I didn't see anyone seriously injured.

The 24-year-old from Monaghan delivered a disciplined and assured performance over 12 rounds to secure a unanimous decision by scores of 119–108, 118–108, and 117–109, handing Smith a second consecutive defeat and raising questions about the Liverpudlian’s future in the sport. McKenna, who entered the bout unbeaten but untested at this level, looked composed from the opening bell.

Cork must be wondering what they have to do to beat Clare. Seven points up last year in Páirc Uí Chaoimh in the second half, seven points up against them in the All-Ireland final... lost both games. This time up in Cusack Park, up 12 points at half-time but more importantly way ahead of Clare in every aspect of the game. Even the most ardent of home supporters were saying 'how much will Cork win by?' They were so dominant, they could and should have been more ahead.
