According to journalist John Fogarty Donegal to wear white for this match and Meath yellow.

Going to look something like this

Who is playing in the preliminary match in Croke Park on Sunday?

Junior football final. Kilkenny v

New York v Warwickshire  and Kilkenny v London semi finals on Friday in Abbottstown and the two winners play in the final on Sunday at 1:30pm.  Can't imagine many Meath and Donegal fans will be rushing in to watch that?

The current odds.

Mairead McGuinness 5/4
Catherine Connolly 6/1
Bertie Ahern 10/1
Sean Kelly 10/1
Mary Lou McDonald 10/1

James Horan has ruled out a return to Mayo but could that mean he'll take on a manager job elsewhere?

'I won't be going for the Mayo manager position. It is time for something different'

Former Mayo manager James Horan has ruled himself out of a return to the county hot seat as they begin their search to replace Kevin McStay.

McStay was relieved of his role as senior football manager last month and local media had speculated that Horan would seek a return for a third spell.

The former Mayo player was first appointed in 2010 and led the county to successive All-Ireland finals in 2012 and 2013 before stepping away a year later.


He returned in 2018 and again led the team to All-Ireland finals in 2020 and 2021. In 2022, he stepped down.

Speaking on the Irish Examiner podcast , Horan said he won't be in the running for the role and has spoken to the Mayo chairperson to confirm this.

"I won't be going for the Mayo manager position," he said.

"Not at all. It is not for me. I had a go at that and I think it is time for Mayo to look at someone different or something different. I'm just a supporter and happy in that position, going to the games with my young fella, cheering them on.

"Where I am at the moment, I've had a chat with Seamus Tuohy on that just to clear it up, because I don't even want my name associated with it in case there is any confusion. Absolutely not."

HQ has confirmed the final scoreline was 4-20 to 0-30.   Kilkenny thinking they were 3 behind was going for a goal late on.

This has potential to get messy. KK had enough point chances to pull back a 2 point deficit that I think they would have taken if the realised they were 2 down rather than 3

What team or management system at that level doesn't know the score?

The one that looks up at the stadium scoreboard and where it told them the wrong score?  Journalists reporting Kilkenny won't have grounds for appeal so what is done is done now.

Viktor Gyökeres appears to be on his way to Arsenal. 97 goals he has scored in 102 appearances for Sporting.

HQ has confirmed the final scoreline was 4-20 to 0-30.   Kilkenny thinking they were 3 behind was going for a goal late on.

1-5 to 0-4 14 man Tipp outscored Kilkenny in the final 15 minutes of action.

Full time Tipperary 4-21 Kilkenny 0-30. So it's a Munster All-Ireland final once again.

14 man Tipp in front, Kilkenny level it up again 68 mins played.

Goal for Tipp on 69 mins some strike.  4 mins added as Tipp lead by 3.

65 minutes played Kilkenny 0-28 Tipperary 3-18.

Tipp down to 14 men, foolish red.  Kilkenny lead 0-26 to 3-16 with 11 minutes to play.

Corker pitch very slippy today too.

Any rain at all it's very slippy was the same for the 4 football quarter finals.

20 minutes to play level game

Half time Tipperary 3-11 Kilkenny 0-16
