Serious game of Football in Newbridge, Errigal Ciaran 2-18 1-18 Dr Crokes, caught this man after for a wee chat, after his 1-06.
Reckons it would have been bad manners to miss that chance after Ruairi's pass sent him through, so he stuck it top bins. Canavan’s.

Johnny Murphy on refereeing the All-Ireland final: ‘Hand on heart, I was happy with the way it went’

St Kilda have announced the signing of Meath prospect Eamonn Armstrong. He won't make the move until he finishes his Leaving Cert.
It means they will have two Irish players next year (with Cork's Liam O'Connell)

This whole interview is brilliant. However, there's a section on Kids being exposed to 'Free Play' and Multiple Sports that every Coach, Teacher and Parent should be shown 👌
We’re live with the James McCarthy exclusive on The Football Pod - he was brilliant, and gave some great insights into what drove him to win 9 All-Ireland titles - hope you enjoy! youtu.be/IvDPG2z3860?...
