Thu, Mar 14, 2024

Maigh Cuilinn’s final Superleague home game of the season this Saturday night will be a bitter-sweet affair. The Connemara side have been relegated to the National League following a defeat at the buzzer last weekend.

MULLINS SET TO DOMINATE CHELTENHAM

Thu, Mar 07, 2024

Willie Mullins was crowned leading trainer at the 2023 Cheltenham festival. It was his tenth time to take the award. Willie has trained 94 winners at the festival to date, and looks very likely to bring his total to over a century of winners next week. With 65 winners in the last decade, the Mullins domination shows no sign of abating, and it will be the shock of the season if he is not crowned leading trainer at next week’s festival. At a recent Cheltenham preview night, his stable jockey, Paul Townend, was asked for his “charity” bet of the week. His response gave a clear indication of the horses he views as banker material; not content with giving a single answer to the question, Paul suggested a treble comprising Lossiemouth, El Fabiolo and Galopin Des Champs. All three look bomb proof, but, as every punter knows, one of the three often lets you down.

Thu, Feb 29, 2024

The most important game of the Basketball Ireland Superleague season for Maigh Cuilinn beckons this Saturday, March 2. They will head south to play Killorglin, who also face a relegation threat.

The somewhat arbitrary division of teams into a Northern and Southern Conference has left Maigh Cuilinn (Southern Conference) facing the possibility of being relegated.
