For a long time, Nevada has been the only U.S State where sports betting was legal. That Las Vegas stranglehold on a very popular pastime elsewhere in the world is set to change, however. Per Brian Windhorst of ESPN (via Bleacher Report), the Supreme Court, which comprises part of the judiciary branch of government in the USA, has deemed the …

The best bets for this year's National Leagues.

Today, the country has taken a breath and looked back on an absorbing All-Ireland Football Final yesterday. Sam Maguire will winter by the Liffey once again, as a late Dean Rock free ensured that Dublin completed an historic three-in-a-row.

This morning, hurling fans are waking up all over the country and indeed all over the world, resigned to the fact that the championship is over until 2018. Galway are champions, and deservedly so after a campaign which saw them see off Dublin, Offaly, Wexford, Tipperary and Waterford to end a 29-year wait.

Following two rather underwhelming quarter-finals at the Páirc Uí Chaoimh curtain-raiser last weekend, we now know the final four teams in the race for this year’s Liam MacCarthy Cup.

Since the crescendo of the Six Nations, talk within rugby circles has been dominated by the impending Lions squad announcement.

Names such as Dylan Hartley, Rory Best and Alun Wyn Jones have all been thrown about. The tag …

The French-bred, Irish-trained Thoroughbred Douvan has seen his long winning run come to an end, after he finished seventh of ten in the Grade One Queen Mother Champion Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.

Dublin beat Mayo in a tight affair yesterday evening in Croke Park to capture the Sam Maguire Cup.

Meanwhile, usual suspects Kerry, Donegal, Tyrone and Cork are all knocking about. It will be …
