However, winning All-Irelands across a number …

In our latest rugby quiz, instead of looking at prolific try scorers, we will be focussing on those who were a little shy when it came to crossing the whitewash.

When you …

Last year, as Irish defender Matt Doherty came towards the end of his magnificent first Premier League season with Wolves, we wondered would he make the PFA Team of the Year.

The 15 hurlers who have been deemed the very best take to the stage in the Convention Centre at the end of every season as part of the All-Star team of the year.
