Jack McKay: No good with a hurley, handy with a pen

There’s one quote in particular that’s always stuck with me – from the legendary Formula 1 commentator Murray Walker:“So you know what they say, those that can, do, those that can't, talk about it - and that's what I did.” It’s a spin on the old saying of ‘those that can, do; those that can’t, teach’ but it’s a brilliant quote, and it couldn’t be more accurate in my case.

P1 Hurling Feile final: Donagh Conway the hero as Ballinora sink Midleton with golden score

It went down to the wire, with Donagh Conway stepping up to send over the golden score and secure the Premier 1 Feile title for Ballinora, after a brilliant battle with Midleton in MTU on Sunday.

Immediately they beckoned goalkeeper Will Stokes to come up and take it. It was a big ask from the halfway line.
