The GAA should consider playing this year's Allianz Hurling League final at an Ulster venue. Met loads of families in Newry today - parents with hurling mad children saying they rarely get a chance to bring them to a top level hurling game in the province.

No charge for match programme in Parnell Park today. Supporters asked instead to put some change into a donation bucket for St. Francis Hospice. Hopefully this will start in other counties as well.

Biggest crowd in years at a gaelic football match in Derry city last night. Sold-out crowd of 12,077 saw Derry beat Dublin by 1 point. Brilliant to see so many young people in their Derry gear at the game.

An Ulster final replay at a packed stadium next weekend might have done more for the promotion of gaelic football than 24 matches to eliminate 4 teams. Next sell-out game in Clones probably 12 months away.

Wonder will financial reality bite at some point for the GAA. They've missed out on replays of Munster hurling final (45k sellout) Ulster football final (29k sellout) and Armagh v Galway. After two seasons of Covid disruption, that's a lot of additional income to wipe off.

Disappointing news that the Ulster SHC is being discontinued. Covered some brilliant finals between Antrim and Down in Casement Park. Big crowds, epic battles and a sense of occasion to match any provincial final. Should never have been allowed to decline and disappear.

Disappointing news for GAA fans in Dublin. Even in this online age, lots of people bought the Herald on Tuesdays for match reports, photos, features, fixtures, tables and club notes.
So sad to hear that The Herald's Dublin GAA supplement on Tuesdays has been discontinued. I've had 15 wonderful years being involved and have loved every minute of it. Many thanks to all those that helped me and I'm eternally grateful for the friendships I have made. Up the Dubs
