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.

Thumbs up for Carry-On; a more than decent Christmas/Action movie, proper shades of Die Hard. 🎥 #Netflix

St Mary’s have fought their way back into this - doing better in defence and kicked three pts on the spin in 90 secs after opening their account on 22 mins.

Cuala lead 1-07 to 0-03 at HT.

Meanwhile the Na Fianna and Kilcormac Killoughey boys stroll the field at HT before their Hurling final #GAA

On a busy day for the country, an incredibly important GAA Special Congress gets underway in Croke Park.

Jarlath Burns urges delegates to give their full focus to today’s motions despite other distractions outside these walls, and hands over to Jim Gavin of the FRC to make an opening address…

Paul Mescal is some buachaill, you’d go to war with him if he dropped a speech like that in the dressing room before a Championship game. #Gladiator2 #MescalAbú 🏐

Covered Loughmore-Castleiney’s brilliant win against Éire Óg today in the Munster Club Senior Football semi-final, just seven days after Ballygunner knocked them out of the Hurling.

Two McGrath brothers and cousins; Liam-John-Noel-Ciaran-Brian all had a serious impact - reaction up on Off The Ball

‘Come on Ahane, the spuds are boiling.’ - the clubs brilliant war cry is captured by a pot of boiling potatoes within the crest, apparently uttered first by the mother of the legendary Limerick hurler Mick Mackey. That’s a doozy 😂

I’m not sure I’ve ever been as invested in a TikTok series as I am with Bryson’s hole-in-one challenge over his own gaff - still plugging away, and landing agonisingly close each time 😂 ⛳️ 🏌️‍♂️ vm.tiktok.com/ZGdYxaJay/

“I always said I never wanted to hang around too long. I watched guys over the years and thought, ‘You’re just chasing it.’ I wanted to get out with a bit left in the tank.”

Should you stop at the top, or rage against your fading powers?

It has tortured plenty, but James McCarthy knew when to go 👇

Massive news from Dublin Football tonight, reports that Brian Fenton retires at 31, he put together one of the greatest Gaelic Football careers we'll ever see!

Forget the incredible numbers, what he produced on the field of play was just so pure, I love this point from 2023 #GAA 👇 t.co/o9yd0VS5Jp
