Friday is Presidential Election Day in Ireland. What was a ho-hum electoral season got overheated when the campaign of Jim Gavin, a Gaelic football legend turned political neanderfuck and one of only three candidates on the ballot, imploded at the 11th hour over news that he'd screwed a former tenant out of overpaid rent 16 years ago. Irish campaigns are a whole lot shorter than we're used to stateside: The presidential ballot wasn't finalized until late September.

In the latest of our vintage veteran series, Dublin great and seven-time All-Ireland winner Eoghan O'Gara reveals he is still enjoying his football with Wexford club Shelmaliers despite injuries. It's not quite a Benjamin Button tale but for Eoghan O'Gara, it's certainly a case of an Indian Summer.

The two points for kicks outside the 40-metre arc encouraged long-range kicking. The minimum of three players in each half of the pitch reduced the ability to employ all-out defence.

The GAA's recent championship football weekend showcased players demonstrating their skills, ultimately rejuvenating interest in the game and fostering excitement among fans.

Olivia, a bright and beautiful spirit, passed away on May 25 while participating in the Edinburgh Half Marathon. Her bubbling personality and kind heart will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

The provincial championships have truly revitalized the excitement surrounding the game, setting a new standard for enjoyment in amateur Gaelic football.
