Mercy Mercy Me…

Published on January 31, 2013 by in Business, Sport

There can’t be many people in Ireland that haven’t been affected to one degree or another by cancer and anything that raises awareness, including the recent announcement by Cork GAA chiefs, is to be warmly welcomed. However where to now for Cork GAA? By way of a quick recap, Cork GAA lost their sponsor of the last 15 or so years (O2) and have so far been unable to find a replacement with the league season only a matter of days away. The other evening, they announced on their Twitter account (@OfficialCorkGAA) that they had offered their senior football jersey

Shift of Power in Irish Rugby

Published on April 10, 2012 by in Sport

Another great weekend of Heineken Cup action is over, well apart from the first half of the Saracens V Clermont match, with a huge interest from an Irish point of view. Leinster’s demolition of Cardiff coupled with Ulster’s heroic win over Munster means the prospect of all Ireland final is still very much on the cards.

Yesterday saw Declan Kidney announce his thirty man panel for the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand, and there was widespread shock by two particular omissions. Both Tomás O’Leary and Luke Fitzgerald (Pictured) were surprise exclusions from the list. It is a big call from Kidney who has put faith in Leicester’s Geordan Murphy and Munster youngster Conor Murray. However, with a huge preparation match against England at the weekend, anything can happen with regards injury and both men will have to keep stay on their feet.
