I asked the Limerick footballers if I could have full access to their game plans, training sessions, review meetings, gym work, coaching discussions and everything else in the lead-up to the Tailteann Cup final. Amazingly, they said yes irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/arid…
One last piece from Portrush - This is one of my favourite Rory McIlroy stories, though it's not really about Rory McIlroy at all. (Free to read) Rory McIlroy’s Portrush gesture completes one man’s 19-year journey to replace what was lost the42.ie/6768794

Enjoyable hour discussing the All-Ireland final in depth with @PaddyMcGill1985 and @m_brosnan oceanfm.ie/sport/donegal-…
Piece from Croke Park on that insane second half irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/arid…
Thought Tipperary were so well setup today. Serious credit to @paulob16 and the rest of their management team. What Liam Cahill has done with this group is astonishing.

Tipperary have resisted any temptation to take Darragh McCarthy out of the All-Ireland final against Cork on Sunday after he picked up his second red card of the championship in the semi-final. buff.ly/7oAKRkf
This is Tipperary’s defensive shape. Bryan O’Mara as the plus one.
Deadly atmosphere outside Croke Park. All six pundits go for Cork in the match programme. When is the last big upset in the final? 2010 or 2006? I think Tipperary would be one
Really enjoyed chatting with Eoin Cadogan and Tommy Dunne this week about navigating the chaos of an All-Ireland final. Tommy on his half-time speech in 2001 is something else. irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/arid…
