Six minutes of injury-time, a goal-scoring hero forced off with a giant gash above his eye and a missed Kilkenny penalty at the death. There are dramatic underdog tales and then there are the Westmeath Under-21 hurlers. Tremendous stuff.
Eleven points against the Rebels - the most ever scored by a Donegal man in Croke Park. Long touted as the big thing, this was the match when McBrearty announced his arrival. From a personal point of view he will be gutted Kilcar could not make their mark.
Before Pep Guardiola there was Kieran McGeeney and his complete disregard for the art of goalkeeping. The Armagh manager put outfielder Paul Courtney in nets, Courtney did not wear gloves, Courtney ran amok and . Armagh still lost, though. Like Pep's City.
With an incredibly tense game in the mixer the Tyrone captain burst through half the Donegal defence, outpaced the rest of the Donegal defence and fired over a monstrous point. For its beauty, its significance and its technical brilliance it was deservedly named point of the year in .
The All-Ireland football Championship can be a little light on shocks in the latter (or early) stages so this nine-point thumping of the Connacht champions was a delight to anyone outside of Galway. It was not just the scoreline however, but the style and fearlessness of the Munster men's performance, .

The hurler of the year is a one-man highlight reel and you could easily pick out any of his five scores from the drawn All-Ireland final as potential points of the season. He had one of the games of his young life and .
The Tipperary full-forward's performance in the All-Ireland final was one for the ages, his manager describing his nine points from play as not too bad. It was, in truth, a display of forward play that
Stephen Rochford gambled ahead of the All-Ireland final replay and changed his goalkeepers, when Hennelly spilled a simple catch and fouled Paddy Andrews. The keeper was black-carded and Diarmuid Connolly slotted away the penalty. Huge moment in a one-point game.

St Vincent's win over Rhode in the AIB Leinster senior club football final means the all-Star half-forward won an Allianz League, Leinster SFC, All-Ireland SFC, Dublin SFC and provincial club crown this year. This pass is just condensed into vine form.
This was special. First time Clare senior hurling champions became first time AIB Munster senior hurling club champions when they beat Cork's Glen Rovers in the final. However the real drama came in the semi-final when the Banner men fought back from five points down after 58 minutes to force extra-time. Then Tony Kelly kicked into gear... 4-18 to 2-22.
"He scored the first point of the game when he capitalised on a Holden error and other than a strange blip, when he struck a free low enough for Cillian Buckley to block, he proceeded to put in a near flawless exhibition of hurling. "He struck only one wide and towards the end of the first half produced a spectacular piece of skill to, with his first touch, pluck the ball out of the sky, second get it into his hand and then he swivelled and shot over the bar. "He was simply awesome and, along with his corner forwards John O'Dwyer and John McGrath, they racked up 2-21 of Tipperary's total of 2-29."
Tyrone send open letter to GAA over Allianz sponsorship
The GAA, and its president Jarlath Burns, have come under further pressure in regards to their sponsorship deal with Allianz following an open letter from Tyrone GAA. The letter sent, again highlighted the issue of Allianz’s relations to Israel. The German insurance company has been Gaelic football and hurling’s league sponsor since 1993 and have […]

Fans rubbish Cork boss’ excuses after Munster SHC final loss
They have a point to be fair! One of the main talking points following yesterday’s Munster SHC final, was the full-time whistle, which came before Cork were able to send one last puck into the Limerick box. Rebel players were clearly not pleased by this, claiming that they did not know it was the last […]
