O’Conall Street

GAA is a glorious game. No doubt about it. 

The Orchard County tried hard to put Fermanagh back in their box but failed. A spirited fight back earned Fermanagh another bite at the Ulster title in a couple of weeks. Down also bounced back in Tullamore. Is this the beginning of a new generation of Mourne men?

Things were special where Dubliners were involved. In the testing conditions of Royal Birkdale Padraig Harrigton served up a master class in links golf becoming the first European to successfully defend the open in over a century. That shot onto the seventeenth will surely go down as one of the finest in Open history.

Eighty thousand witnessed another master class in Croke Park where Dublin disposed of Wexford by an impressive 3-23 to 0-9. It was a great day to be at HQ. Come on you boys in blue…..

Gaff of the weekend goes to David Healy for being a total plonker and pretending to play a flute as he came on in a friendly against Celtic.  Although Iris is not far behind as the Belfast Telegraph reports.

But even that is not going to take the shine of a pretty perfect weekend.
