Ireland were cannibalised by their own emotions as the irrepressible energy slowly lapsed with fatigue.

Dublin's victory over Carlow was marked by a remarkable performance, with twelve different scorers contributing to a 14-point win, securing their promotion to Division 1A.

To be honest, I probably put some of the blame on myself. I had a lot of chances to score and I didn't. It wasn't good enough in front of goal.

"It's the first time in 18 games that I had to have a go. I didn't like that I had to do that. We were passive in the first half, passing side to side, that was not us."

The Irish government will give 2,000 artists unrestricted weekly stipends in a program officials described as a "recognition, at government level, of the important role of the arts in Irish society."

Ballygunner cemented their place among the upper echelons of club hurling with their second All-Ireland crown despite not hitting top gear in a 1-20 to 1-14 victory over Galway kingpins Loughrea in Croke Park this afternoon. Loughrea got plenty right in the first half with Darren Shaughnessy's exquisite 26th-minute goal leaving them just one behind at half time having kept a lot of Ballygunner's big guns quiet, 0-12 to 1-8.

They say sport and politics don't mix. Last week's draw placing Ireland alongside the Israel national football team in the UEFA Nations League has been greeted with a shrug from officialdom.

Expectation comes with the territory when a team makes vast improvements in a short space of time and Meath football boss Robbie Brennan knows that the shoe is on the other foot this year. The Royals went into last year with little fanfare, but Brennan quickly turned the tide after taking the reins from Colm O'Rourke, and they picked up massive championship wins over Dublin, eventual All-Ireland champions Kerry and Galway in a roller-coaster summer.
