Joe Kernan: Kilcoo in for a rare treat now
Thursday, 22 October 2009
It is often claimed by the Croke Park authorities that the club is the very

Joe Kernan: County managers are all set to go out clubbing
Thursday, 1 October 2009
The All Ireland Football Championship may be done and dusted but this does not

Sport, like life itself, can be full of ironies.

Joe Kernan: Galway boss, but I am still thinking of Armagh
Thursday, 17 September 2009
An All Ireland Minor triumph for Armagh, a memorable Cork v Kerry battle for
the Sam Maguire Cup, a winning baptism with Galway and success for Ulster in
the Inter-provincial football championship.

Joe Kernan: Sam’s leaving Ulster but still been a great season
Thursday, 10 September 2009
At the outset of the All Ireland Championship season in both football and
hurling, optimism prevailed that we would enjoy a summer of high-octane

football and hurling remain firmly on course to retain their titles.

There is a suggestion doing the rounds that the formula for the All Ireland
Football Championship could perhaps be revised and modelled along the lines
of the European Champions League.

Joe Kernan: Back to basics proving to be winning formula
Thursday, 6 August 2009
There is no doubt that gaelic football at the highest level has now become
much more scientific, convoluted even, with heavy emphasis on intricate
tactical plans and attention to detail.

Joe Kernan: Even McGeeney's Kildare won‘t stop Tyrone
Thursday, 30 July 2009

Joe Kernan: Tyrone are superb at number crunching
