One final lesson from the teacher
IT’S the students versus their former teacher on Sunday afternoon when Erne Gaels travel to Brewster Park to take on Enniskillen in this year’s Senior Championship Final.

Column: Hawk Eye with Eimear Keenan
Eimear Keenan takes an irreverent view on the Fermanagh v Antrim All Ireland Final replay. All Ireland final day part two. A shorter drive to the Orchard County this time around and less worry of tolls, euros and clamping. I parked in a built-up area just beside the ground knowing that if anyone dared clamp […]
‘Just go for it’ urges O’Donnell
