I’d been reading online about the back card while I’d be away on holiday, but I wasn’t fully sure of it. Anyway, I came back and got my first taste in a McGrath Cup game at the start of 2014. We were playing against Cork and I’d say I wasn’t out on the field long before it happened.

Don't Get Into A Tug-of-War with Club Managers

Eddie Brennan: Don't Get Into A Tug-of-War with Club Managers

The big talking point of the new year has been the emergence of CPA with a very specific agenda: the club fixtures. And it's no surprise really. The amount of draws in All-Ireland and All-Ireland semis in recent seasons has really brought the plight of club fixtures to breaking point.

Is it time to scrap these pre-season competitions?

All you have to do is ask the question: are they valid tournaments? I know they have sponsors and all that, which you have to respect, not to mention the people they are named after, but what value have they?

Marc Ó Sé: When you’ve gone as close as Mayo, it’s hard to imagine what it’s like inside their heads.

County , Football , Kerry GAA and Mayo GAA | Wed Jan 04 13:33:00 GMT 2017

It feels as though the Cork GAA strikes only happened yesterday. Yes their hurlers went on to win All-Irelands in 2004-05 and the footballers likewise in 2010, but it’s still a topic of conversation down there so the effects linger.

And so we come to Mayo. They’ve already shown us their mental strength after what happened to them down on Leeside at the start of 2016.

Words by Shane Stapleton

Russell Crowe says you build a team around brothers.

The Hollywood actor took over the South Sydney Rabbitohs in 2006 when the rugby league side were on their knees. Just eight years later, they won the grand final for the first time in 43 years with a 30-6 win over the Bulldogs. It was a victory built on blood.
