LEINSTER'S stars may not have felt in the party mood, but they still dressed to the nines as they attended their end of season awards. With the taste of Saturday's crushing Champions Cup semi-final loss still fresh, they showed up to UCD's O'Reilly Hall for the swanky function. RG Snyman's first season in blue has gone about as well as anyone could've hoped considering how snake-bitten he was with injury throughout his time with Munster.

OWEN Mulligan's Tyrone career may have ended sooner than he'd have liked but he is able to laugh about it nowadays. In his early twenties he provided an exuberant presence in Tyrone's forward line that blended excellently with veteran peers Peter Canavan and Brian Dooher. But for all of his ability, he didn't end up soldiering as long in the red and white as either of those two legends. Instead his time with the Red Hand came to a fairly abrupt end at the age of 32.

THE issue of camogie players being compelled to wear skorts in matches appears set to come to a head this season. Dublin and Kilkenny got the ball rolling by staging a protest before Saturday's Leinster Championship semi-final. Both sets of players came out in shorts instead of the mandated skorts but were told by referee Ray Kelly that unless they went back inside and got changed, the fixture would not go ahead. The teams relented with The Cats ultimately triumphing by 4-11 to 2-12.

PAUL Galvin compared the ongoing skorts controversy to "an episode of Father Ted" as pressure continues to mount on the Camogie Association. The long-running bone of contention has become such a talking point in the mainstream media since the protest by Dublin and Kilkenny players that politicians are even joining in on the debate.

ARSENAL are in Paris this evening as they seek to overturn a 1-0 deficit in their Champions League semi-final. It was Ousmane Dembele who provided the only goal of the night after just four minutes of last week's first leg at the Emirates Stadium. On the bright side for the Gunners, the mercurial forward is a doubt for tonight with a hamstring tweak.
