Trailing 22-6 at the three-quarters stage, battling Buccaneers put in a strong finish but came up just short when going down 22-20 to City of Armagh at the Palace Grounds in their Energia All-Ireland League Division 1B match on Saturday, the late rally salvaged a losing bonus point for the Midlanders in their opening fixture following promotion.

Galway senior footballers will be playing division two football for the 2022 season after four years in the top tier.

The very publicised retirement and eulogising of Colm Cooper caused much debate among friends and foes, current and past players, print and TV media over the last number of weeks. Joe Brolly fought an unwinnable battle against Ciaran Whelan and Tomas O'Shea on league Sunday declaring Cooper went missing in big games when Kerry needed him most and had to keep referencing Cooper's performances against Tyrone as an example of this.

What a difference a week makes. The Jekyll and Hyde side of Mayo football was never so evident as in their last three performances. Mayo put in a real gutsy performance against Tyrone in sun-drenched Healy Park Omagh last weekend to boost our chances of survival in the top flight.
