Holywood Golf Club, overlooking Belfast Lough, is where Rory McIlroy took flight in his golf career. The club's history and significance in Northern Ireland are profound, connecting families and generations through the game.

In the All-Ireland senior football final, Armagh's strategy involved clearing the ball to protect a slender lead, which ultimately led to a score from Niall Grimley.

Amano De Londra Miura showcased her stunning sean nós talents live on TV, putting the Irish language back on the map and highlighting its cultural importance.

"You are playing in front of a sold-out crowd at Allianz, you have just won a World Cup, and the next minute you are back playing over the road in front of a slither of the amount of people."

Teams are getting killed on this. It's like a power play in ice hockey. One miscue off the tee and 1-7 flies over and past you in seven or eight minutes.

Nathan Collins is having a good season. Captain of both Brentford and the Republic of Ireland, Collins is dreaming of Europe with his club and the World Cup with his country.

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.

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.
