A struggle for power could reunite the show's most troubled couple.

Alexander the Great was reputed to have cried when he realised his army had no more worlds to conquer. By the time of his death at the age of 32, the Macedonian king was head of the largest empire the world had seen. The Dublin footballers are unlikely to have shed the same tears September before last when they broke through the barrier to claim the GAAs first All-Ireland inter-county senior mens five-in-a-row, masters of all they surveyed at that point. Because for some, on a personal level, t...

Stephen Cluxton has no more records to break. Having become the first hurler or footballer to make 100 appearances last summer, Cluxton is set to play his 111th championship game for Dublin in next Saturday’s All-Ireland final. He has rewritten the goalkeeping manual, turning the position into one of the most significant on the field, as the precision of his restarts has effectively transformed him into a GAA version of an American Football quarterback.

In Dublins last two matches alone, their marauding wing-back has teed up a point-blank goal for Seán Bugler against Meath; and then, against Cavan, he has pounced on defensive dithering to create another (unconverted) goal chance for Niall Scully, scored a point in either half and ghosted into attack for his teams only goal.

That group were minor All-Ireland champions in 2013 after seeing off a Tyrone team powered by Conor McKenna and Cathal McShane. They repeated the dose three years later beating Sean Powter’s C...

THE Limerick players may not get an opportunity to parade the Liam MacCarthy Cup in front of their adoring public between now and the next time ribbons carrying the colours of the competing counties are attached to it and it’s displayed on the Hogan Stand podium on All-Ireland final day. Adherence to public health guidelines is likely to keep the coveted cup under lock and key for the first few months of the new year and, by then, the work in defending all three titles that they amassed over ...

Dessie Farrell was made Dublin captain by Tom Carr in 1997. Photo: Sportsfile During his seven-year stint as Dublin manager, Jim Gavin was always evasive when asked about the number of hours he put into the job per week. Mick Bohan, the current Dublin ladies manager who worked as the mens coach until in 2013 and 14, was dumbfounded by the sheer breadth of tasks involved.
