The Salthill-Knocknacarra minors under the guidance of Sean Armstrong, Mark Butler and PJ Kelly had a big and well-deserved 4-12 to 1-7 win over Corofin in Saturday’s county minor A final in Tuam.

Two separate investigations are underway after a lorry collided with a road sweeper and jackknifed, coming partially off the Athlone bypass yesterday morning.

1. Have Kilkenny changed their game at all this year to prepare for Tipperary?

It's amazing what a week can do in sport.

Last week I suggested that home advantage might prove decisive in deciding who would advance to play Roscommon in the Connacht final on July 17. I was wrong. Having witnessed the display from Galway last Sunday I am now of the opinion that if Mayo had played the first half of last Sunday’s encounter in Pearse Stadium and the second half in Tuam we still would have won in a canter. I have never in my lifetime witnessed such an inept performance from a Galway senior side. They were spiritless and soft when it came to putting up any sort of a challenge to Mayo last Sunday. In fact the game, particularly the first half, ranks as one of the worst of this year’s championship. (I would rank the first game played in this year’s championship, Donegal v Antrim as the worst.) I accept that the second half did improve but that improvement came from Mayo as a single point from play by Galway in the entire second half tells its own story. At no point did Galway radiate the belief that they had the measure of Mayo. When a team plays without any semblance of a pattern as Galway did last weekend, it suggests that there is little synchronisation between management and players.

If there was ever a constituency which defined the term ‘boringly predictable’ it was certainly Galway East, a place even more beholden to repeating patterns and traditions than its sister electoral area Galway West.
