    Clare comfortably defeat Wexford by 7, and Tyrone defeating Roscommon in first gear (1-10 to 0-6 at HT).

    Comment


      Tyrone entering "dark horse" territory - destroy Roscommon 4-24 to 2-12.

      Comment


        Yeah ,Dubs up by four at ht,need a win tonight,don't fancy having to win in Omagh,I'd be happy with a draw

          Dubs win by five in the end, and indeed could have won by more, only for playing the ball around basketball-style in the closing stages.

            Strange athmosphere towards the end of the Dublin v Donegal game,seemed that Donegal were happy with a relatively narrow defeat,they certainly didn't chase the Dubs as they ran the clock down,they obviously feel they can beat Tyrone and Roscommon and go through that way,certainly their fans were bullish enough after the game, lots of "we'll see you in the final lads " time will tell

              Monaghan defeat Kildare by two points earlier, meanwhile Galway v Kerry is an absolute dog of a game - the Connacht champions lead 0-6 to 0-5 at the break.

                Amazing, the second half is even worse.

                Comment


                  Galway deservedly win by 1-13 to 1-10, they played the more positive, attacking football, whereas Kerry seemed more concerned with keeping the score down. Shane Walsh was the clear MOTM, while only David Clifford made any impression in defeat.

                    All-Ireland Super 8s - Round 2:

                    Group 1: Kildare v Galway:

                    After the Mayo kerfuffle, no-one was going to take this tie away from Newbridge, and it should prove intriguing. The Lilywhites were competitive against Monaghan, but ultimately fell short, and up against the defensive solidity of the Tribesmen, and the attacking flair of Comer and Walsh, the same outcome is likely on Sunday.

                    Monaghan v Kerry:

                    The only other occasion that Kerry have played a Championship game in Ulster was against Cavan in Breffni Park in 1933, so Clones will play host to a novel experience. The knives are out for Fitzmaurice after the Kingdom's limp Croke Park performance, and with Monaghan's Ciaran McManus and Rory Beggan wily campaigners, the home side could well advance to the semis.

                    Group 2: Tyrone v Dublin

                    Monaghan did lower Dublin's colours in the League, but that was virtually a B team, so the Red Hand may pose the strictest challenge for the champions to date. Omagh can be a daunting venue, but the Dubs should have enough guile to ultimately triumph.

                    Roscommon v Donegal:

                    Visitors to Hyde Park will know that the home team are literally whistling past the graveyard in terms of their Championship prospects, after last week's mauling by Tyrone. Donegal were game, but limited against Dublin, but still appear a class above their opponents this week.

                      Donegal win against Roscommon but only by 7,Tyrone beat the Rossies by 18 so Tyrone know,bar an almighty stuffing by the Dubs,even if they lose tonight they can still quality for the semi-finals with a draw in their last game against Donegal

                        Meanwhile, it seems the Cork County Board may yet be open to allowing Páirc Uí Chaoimh play host to the Liam Miller testimonial.

                          Not pretty,but Dublin do enough to reach the semi-finals,Tyrone look favourites to join them

                          Comment


                            Cracking first half in Newbridge between Kildare and Galway,both sides playing attacking football with Galway just edging it 0.11 to 0.10

                            Comment


                              2nd half couldn't have been as intense and so it proved but Galway won't care,they have one foot in the semi-finals after winning 0.19 to 0.16, Kildare battled hard but a needless red card didn't help their cause and for them the season is over

                              Comment


                                Monaghan 1.11 Kerry 0.10, squeaky bum time down in the kingdom as pre season 2nd favourite could join 3rd favourite Mayo by exiting before the semi-finals,big half needed,do they have it in them?

                                  So, only three weeks 'til the soccer season restarts, you say?

                                    Well it shows how hard it is to screw down Dracula's coffin, last minute goal gives Kerry a draw to keep them in it,it's still in Monaghan' s hands though

                                      Could be shades of West Germany v Austria in a fortnight:

                                      Galway 4 +6
                                      Monaghan 3 +2
                                      Kerry 1 -3
                                      Kildare 0 -5

                                        At least it's not a dead rubber, can't see Galway rolling over though,one of my best friends is a massive Monaghan fan who's told me horror stories of division 4 league defeats to Leitrim and Carlow,he'll be gutted tonight

                                          All-Ireland Hurling Semi-Finals:

                                          Galway v Clare:

                                          It just feels totally wrong for this traditionalist to see the Hurling Championship virtually concluded before the soccer season even begins, but c'est la vie, until 2020 and most likely permanently. Anyway, today's tussle is one of the friendlier in the GAA, largely because of its comparative rarity at the business end of the season. This is the Banner's first Croke Park appearance since their 2013 All-Ireland victory, and while they have undoubtedly improved this year, Galway's firepower and strength in depth should see them prevail by 3-5 points.

                                          Cork v Limerick:

                                          Unfortunately for the Rebels, this game has been overshadowed for the last 10 days by the increasingly ridiculous Liam Miller Affair, in the Machiavellian Frank Murphy's swansong. As for the tie itself, Cork start as heavy favourites, having grown stronger throughout the Munster round-robin, and led by Seamus Harnedy and Patrick Horgan. Aaron Gillane is Limerick's leading light, but the Uruguay of hurling look set to spend another year away from the Promised Land.

                                            The Liam Miller game gets the green light for Páirc Uí Chaoimh, with a hurling match as the warm-up event.

                                              Clare may as well go home already,1.07 to 0.01 after 16 minutes

                                                ....and then Galway,after a great start,only score 1 point in the next 15 minutes and it's back to two points,1.08 to 0.09

                                                  Magnificent comeback by Clare to force extra-time, 1-23 to 0-26.

                                                    They'll have to meet again, 1-30 apiece.
