Paddy Durcan narrowly missed out on an All-Ireland but he wants to get back in the hunt.

Mount Leinster Rangers are a band of brothers. It’s a line so often trotted out about teams, emphasising their close bond. But when you delve deeper into the make-up of the 2013 Leinster club champions, it’s certainly borne out.

BRENDAN MURPHY IN CONVERSATION WITH SHANE STAPLETON

Sean Murphy was wrecked tired so he had to have a little lie-down. The only problem? Well, the game against Monaghan wasn’t even starting for an hour yet. Sean’s a bit of a character, and had been shearing sheep all morning; that his idea of preparation for championship.

Kildare’s first jersey were said to have been made from white flour bags from Odlum Mills. They stuck with the white colours and, since 1910, Carlow have stuck with their green, red and yellow — having previously adopted the county champions’ look.

Tony Griffin might be the first Ballyea man to ever win an All Star but he's since been joined by 2013 senior and young Hurler of the Year Tony Kelly. The latter also won three All-Ireland Under-21 titles, with fellow clubmate Paul Flanagan captain of the 2013 edition which saw off Antrim. Kelly was joined on that All Star side three years ago by his rival in this year's Munster club final, Glen Rovers' Pat Horgan,

The weekend that's in it, we'll see a reigning footballer of the year in action and a former winner of the hurling gong too. Lee Keegan is in action for Westport while Tony Kelly hopes to lead Ballyea to maiden glory in Munster.

Carlow teams have pulled off some shocks in the past and they've Dublin champions Cuala lined up this weekend at home. Meanwhile a Lismore side hampered by a huge generation gap is looking to put one over on Kilmoyley.

And while they're at it, the Deise side boast 2007 hurler of the year, Dan Shanahan, with 1998 version Tony Browne on the sideline.

It’s getting to the business time of the year in the provincials as Leinster heads for the football quarter-finals and Munster to the semis.

It’s getting to the business time of the year in the provincials as Leinster heads for the football quarter-finals and Munster to the semis.

Returning players and managers are fighting for more silverware, and inter-county referees are playing their part on the other side of the fence.

Aughawillan (Leitrim) v St Brigid's (Roscommon)

There are three Plunkett brothers on the Aughawillan team: full back Noel, as well as wing-forwards Mark and Gary. And it took a late ‘45 from Mark to seal the county final win over Glencar/Manorhamilton. This is a designated home game for St Brigid’s but because Hyde Park is being upgraded and since 2011 the Connacht council have forbidden clubs to host home games in the province, they have to go elsewhere. All of which means the staging of this game in Carrick-On-Shannon makes it a de facto home game for the away side.

Mullinalaghta (Longford) v St Loman's (Westmeath)

Donal, Ruairi, Aidan and Conor McElligott have all been central figures as Mullinalaghta secured a first Longford title in 66 years and then beat Stradbally of Laois in the first round of Leinster. Their father Dan hails from Kerry and the name of his native town, perhaps unsurprisingly, is Ballymacelligott.

Each weekend brings with it novel stories and anecdotes. New match-ups, recent or old rivalries.
Players that we enjoy during the summer with their county are now battling it out with their childhood friends.
Others that have set the standard in one code — a Jamie Barron or a Keith Higgins — are currently lighting the torch in the other.
