Tailteann Cup success for O’Rourke; Derry go down fighting; James McCarthy’s potential as an athlete
But the numbers only tell the half of it. For those couple of minutes in the second half on Saturday when he scored that glorious point on the run and followed it up with a mark, the Monaghan crowd in the stadium absolutely believed he might be about to do it.
The challenge for the GAA now is to maintain that momentum and ensure the competition continues to appeal to players in the years ahead. Meath will look to harness the momentum too and make inroads in the Sam Maguire competition next season.

In his article McKeon quotes Dr Niall Moyna, DCU’s Professor of Clinical Exercise Physiology, who references fitness testing carried out on the Dublin panel back in 2010, and specifically their VO2 Max, the traditional and still reliable measure of oxygen consumption and efficient transport around the body.
A long time ago, August 2001 – so long ago, reporters were actually present – Central Council were deliberating on a suspension for then Cork manager Larry Tompkins when presiding GAA president, the late Seán McCague became irritated by the constant trilling of mobile phones. He declared that if it came down to a choice between “fair play and the rules”, his view was “to Hell with the rules”.“Now, Tony, you’ve had a great season with Wexford [All-Ireland semi-finalists] and everyone’s pleased for you but you can’t come in here as a member of Central Council and say, ‘to Hell with the rules.
Commentator Darragh Maloney echoed: “It’s the right call. VAR is not in the rule book but everyone in the stadium has seen it on the big screen.” After all the months of bellyaching about the state of football, look what we’ve ended up with. Once again, the Croke Park games have provided the best fix for the game’s ills. All the teams who came to contain and play slow, grinding football are gone. The ones who are left are the two sides who’ve pressed highest, taken the most risks, tried to turn the screw in the most heightened moments.
