The DRP under-16 footballers watching Mona McSharry win Olympic bronze during training this evening. Huge congrats Mona - from everyone at Drumcliffe/Rosses Point LGFA/GAA 🥉🏊‍♀️

Enjoyed writing this last week on the impact of McGeeney in Armagh & Kildare. Important to note - this & all the plaudits "Geezer" has got since Sunday would all still be true & relevant if Armagh had lost, or lost a penalty shootout. And, Galway very easily could have won.

My 92 year old granny is at the Olympics today to watch her Australian grandchild in the Judo. She persuaded them to let her sit here. Never doubt the Dublin Granny.

Very good. 20 minutes that captures hours of Olympics.

An Olympics story.

Olympics shows we must ensure our youth play as many sports as possible for as long as possible irishexaminer.com/sport-columnis…

Like the Jamaican bobsleigh team we are all feeling very Olympic today. Can we capture today's energy and turn it into a long term, common sense, approach that will create the environment for a healthy nationwide population, and produce many more sporting stars?

All sports can be for all of life, not just the Olympics. Jamaica bobsleigh 🇯🇲 Open minds 👐 GAA to Gymastics 🤸‍♀️ Healthy nation 🏥 The next Adeleke, Mawdsley, Becker, Healy, McSharry, Wiffen, O’Donovan, McCarthy, McCleneghan, Lynch, Doyle, McCabe, Ferguson, Kelly, Clifford 🤩

Congrats to the DRP duo of Thomas O'Brien & Shay McMorrow who've helped Sligo win the U16 Fr Manning Shield title in Clare with a 1-14 to 1-10 win over Cork South.

The Olympics inspire many, and there’s a widely held belief that they spawn a surge in participation numbers. But it’s not really true. Fascinating to chat to Niamh Murphy on what should happen next to create a meaningful legacy from Paris 2024. irishexaminer.com/sport-columnis…

Jaysus!

Steve McClaren really passed up the opportunity for a moment of social media gold here.

Neil Ewing: Outside the box thinking required in GAA to avoid demographics catastrophe irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/arid…

Great to see this article/interview in mainstream. I see Neil Ewing also went into it today with some interesting and at least lateral ideas. As a coach I personally wouldn’t touch the dual club idea, simply wouldn’t play the player, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t something

A Double D problem for the GAA may benefit from a 3D solution. Ideas needed. irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/arid…

What year, realistically, could this be in place on the N15 to Rathcormac, Grange etc to make safe cycling practical to/from Sligo? Cllr Marie Casserly Donal Gilroy Edel McSharry Cllr Thomas Walsh
