Glen Rovers, St Nick's and Cork GAA legend Denis Coughlan has passed away aged 80.

In both hurling and football, Coughlan built one of Cork's most decorated careers. In total, he won five All-Ireland medals, 12 Munster titles, and four All-Stars.

Across both codes, Coughlan's peak years were densely packed with success. In hurling, he won All-Ireland medals in 1970, 1976, 1977 and 1978, anchoring Cork's famous three‑in‑a‑row and earning All-Star recognition in each of those seasons, along with Hurler of the Year in 1977.

In football, he captained Cork in the 1967 All-Ireland final, returned to midfield for the breakthrough 1973 All-Ireland win over Galway, and lifted a second Munster SFC medal as captain in 1974.

Confirmed:

Katie Taylor will fight Flora Pili in Croke Park on 5 September.

[Would Croker be worse than Wembley for boxing?]

Would Croker be worse than Wembley for boxing?

Wembley is a Soccer stadium, you are a lot closer on all sides to the center of the pitch on a Soccer Stadium than in a Gaelic Stadium.

Wembley Stadium's pitch measures 105 metres by 68 metres, an area of 7,140 square metres,


The Croke Park pitch measures 145 meters long by 88 meters wide, roughly 15,000 square meters in total area.

So there may be progress here.

If she wants 80,000 there I suspect tickets will be close to free. If Hearne wants to make money off it they will need to start charging at a hundred. I genuinely wish KT all the best, but this seems like a mad auld idea.

Does it have to be or does she want 80,000?  Have it in Croke Park with the top tiers closed off and Hill 16 used as the entrance.

Then go to the RDS and not have to pay Croke Park prices

Her dream is to fight in Croke Park and no where elsewhere. All to be confirmed this afternoon.

All on Saturday.

Cork v Meath at 2pm

Tyrone v Galway at 2pm

Kildare v Kerry at 3pm

Roscommon v Derry at 7pm

Tier two All-Ireland semi-finals also on Saturday
 
12:00 in  Cullyhanna Louth v Monaghan  (Louth 2-16 Monaghan 2-13 FT)
2pm in Scotstown  Down v Donegal  (Down 2-13 Donegal 1-20 AET)

['I feel undervalued': Dublin boss Ger Brennan issues statement through solicitor on Jarlath Burns comments]

From the Irish Times

'I feel undervalued': Dublin boss Ger Brennan issues statement through solicitor on Jarlath Burns comments

Dublin senior football manager Ger Brennan has issued a "statement of clarification" through his solicitor in response to comments made by GAA president Jarlath Burns on recent disciplinary incidents.
Brennan is currently serving a three-month ban following a clash with Galway's strength and conditioning coach Cian Breathnach McGinn during a league fixture in March

Donegal manager Jim McGuinness escaped any punishment following his clash with Kerry player Diarmuid O'Connor at half-time of their All-Ireland SFC clash in Killarney last month.
Within the lengthy statement of over 900 words, solicitor Conor Sally says Brennan has been personally affected by the controversy and "feels disenfranchised, undervalued and a lack of belonging to the association given the events of the past three months.

Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland on Tuesday, Burns defended the GAA's disciplinary system and said the cases were not comparable.
"It has only been cast into the spotlight because of another issue that some people maybe are comparing irrationally, if you want to call it that, because you're not comparing the same thing. As I said, comparison is the thief of contentment."
Brennan, who will return to the Dublin sideline for their All-Ireland SFC Round 2B fixture away to Cavan on Sunday, June 14th, issued the following statement on Wednesday afternoon via his solicitor.
"Following comments made by Uachtarán CLG yesterday in relation to my client, when asked a question by a radio journalist about another bainisteoir in [a] game that my client was not involved, my client has instructed me to issue this statement by way of clarification and to correct certain matters now brought into the public domain by the association.
The statement continued: "Mr Brennan from the outset and throughout the process accepted wrongdoing, apologised for his actions and suggested the appropriate infraction was 'disruptive conduct', with the proportionate and balanced punishment a 4 week/1 game ban warranted. Ironically, this was the very same infraction sent to 'the pitch invader' whom he intervened with, after Brian Howard had been attacked.
"Mr Burns has now sought to infer that my client's infraction was "different" in that it he received a red card and has referred to the referees' report as "sacrosanct" – meaning that it is 'untouchable' and 'not open to criticism or challenge'!

"However, rather than process the red card in the normal manner, the CCCC, in advance of their following meeting, sought to seek clarification as 'the pitch invader' was not listed as a team official on the team official's list, as required under CCCC match regulations. The Galway team official list differed from the referee's report, and it was therefore reasonably argued throughout the process that a lesser infraction was more appropriate given the clear inconsistency.
"My client considers the description of "irrational" in respect of comparisons with his case and another incident in another game as insulting to those holding that widely held view. Moreover, he is further concerned that the Uachtarán stated that "it's more embarrassing for the CCCC to lose a case" brought by it at hearing, appeal, or DRA.

"Natural justice of course dictates that justice ought to be done and no CCC should ever be 'embarrassed' at an infraction brought not being proven. Indeed, the GAA's own disciplinary handbook at page 16 states "... the process is about getting the right answer, not "winning" or "losing".
"Following the 12-week draconian ban wherein my client will have been suspended for either 4 and a half, or 5 and a half games, depending on when the CCCC schedule Dublin's next game, Mr Brennan remains further suspended for 30% of the NFL in 2027.
"Others can and will no doubt judge if this is fair, proportionate or balanced in the context of how the CCCC process all alleged infractions. My client is most concerned, that in his view, a consistent and equitable approach is unfortunately not being applied to every team, player and manager by the CCCC, in dealing with disciplinary matters arising.
"Mr Brennan is heartened however by verbal confirmation from the Uachtarán to Dublin GAA last week, that Ard Comhairle intends considering the fairness of the penalty for the infraction listed at Rial 7.2(c) Category IVa TO 2026, with a view to considering bringing a motion to Congress 2027, to amend or alter the penalty.
"My client is a committed GAA volunteer and has never sought any media attention since his infraction over 10 weeks ago. As a result of his suspension however, his family have suffered, his son's underage team have been a coach short, the Dublin Senior Football team have been severely prejudiced, and he himself has been personally affected. He feels disenfranchised, undervalued and a lack of belonging to the association given the events of the past three months.
"These views were indeed conveyed privately by email to Uachtarán, Ard-stiúrthóir and the CCCC, in advance of yesterday's public comments. Indeed, Ard-stiúrthóir Tom Ryan had subsequently provided a positive private written response to Mr Brennan."

The statement concluded: "It is important however that the above facts of the matter are known publicly given the comments made by the association and the subsequent inaccuracies reported in the media yesterday and today, concerning my client and his case. My client would also welcome the GAA publicly putting the record straight."
When contacted on Wednesday afternoon, the GAA declined to comment further.
