Pathetic tactics from Donegal which Clifford mocked by his restraint, patience and - then - genius 👏.
That’s a great video, donegal man annoying him, hassling him, he stays calm, keeps his cool, then, BANG he scores a 2 pointer in the blink of an eye. #DavidClifford is TOP CLASS

What a magnificent insight from a team’s perspective of the drama, tension and sheer passion of an All Ireland final journey to Croke Park, climaxing in the last-minute prepping in the dressing room by Tony Griffin.
"I see boys playing with their friends in back gardens, windswept club pitches and freshly cut hayfields across the Kingdom of Kerry. I see the young men I've come to know, the teammates who've trusted me with their stories, their struggles. " Tony Griffin is next #KerryGAA

This is a fascinating album from the Open at Portrush. Thanks Jamie.

Pure magic from Theo Dorgan.
"My father was a quiet, undemostrative man, soft spoken, not given to showing his emotions. A hurler in his youth, and for a brief while an amateur boxer, he valued stoicism, a certain kind of grace under pressure -- most of the time. " Theo Dorgan, next #NaPiarsaigh #corkvtipp

What a fascinating story about this mostly unloved building. Who would have thunk !!!.
"After much initial opposition to the project, the opening was a celebratory affair, with a pipe band, magicians, pony rides, and even a baby elephant." Cormac Murray: An Elephant in Phibsborough on the fortunes of Galen Weston's 1969 Phibsborough Shopping Centre, next @RTERadio1

Unbelievable that it’s the same Richie Reid captaining Kilkenny, and still going strong 15 years later. Some man, some hurler.
Ah sure go on so 💪😉👇👇👇👇.
