Kerry the deserved champions. Donegal will be better next year when they hear about the two-point arc.

Just brilliant.
The cultural, historical, political and geographical influences that shape Donegal and the GAA. An isolated, distinct land that carries the football tight to its heart: Failte go Tír Chonaill

Crazy, crazy for City to be caught so open for the first Sligo goal. Missed Greg Bolger - or a Bolger-type - at 2-0 up. Sligo will catch Galway.

A plan unanimously endorsed by the FAI board, some of whom represent the affiliates whose opposition to this plan appear to have sunk it. Said board members should come out to explain what's happened. Maybe they can find time to do so at the next Oireachtas Committee.

Another fantastic @Murray_Kinsella piece from Australia. The sheer number of brilliant, original angles he has found across the tour has been unbelievable.

David Bieleski first met Rory McIlroy when they were both 16. When they met again at Portrush almost two decades later, it completed a remarkable tale of redemption.
