A fairly brief report on @maynoothgaa 's last Kildare SFC title win. The 1913 final was played on 22 February 1914. Haven't found a more detailed report with teams etc.

Suncroft's last IFC final was thirty years later, in 2007, and was a happier outcome, a win over Ballymore.

What an achievement for @SuncroftGFC to reach the IFC Final. Lowest ranked of the 16 teams on league position (3rd in Division 4), highest odds against winning it outright (100/1). Hard to remember such a rank outsider reaching a final in Kildare. @MilltownGAA hot favs of course.

Of course with both clubs wearing green and red the big question is which of them will do a Mayo and opt for the all white jersey?

Sad to read this. RIP Jack. Great memories of watching that Rovers team in Milltown. He was a class act at centre back.

It is with profound sadness that we are announcing the death of our former player Jacko McDonagh. Jacko played on the four-in-a-row team at Milltown in 1983/84 and 1984/85, the latter season having won the league and FAI Cup double. shamrockrovers.ie/news/forme…

Hey so this is our country. If you don’t like it, please go back to America where you have a rapist for a president and racists running your country

Australia’s first ever NFL game began with a land acknowledgment. This is insane. Australia also has a national sorry day where the country apologizes to the aborigines every year. If you think the US can’t get crazier, it can.

With Confey dropping out of the IFC championship last weekend the last 8 relegated teams have now failed to make it back up to Senior. Allenwood, relegated in 2017 are the last team to make it back up (doing so in 2023). 1/2

2/2 Leixlip*,Two Mile House*, Monasterevan, Castledermot, Round Towers*, Ballyteague, St Laurence’s* and Confey have been relegated since 2017 and remain at IFC level though those 4 marked with an * retain an interest in this year’s IFC title chase.

My “On the whistle” report on tonight’s 2 hour county board meeting. Clubs animated about the senior football performances. Fairly scant info given about the executive review and its findings other than a need to improve S&C. Aidan O’Rourke and Daryl Flynn depart backroom.

Curiously, particularly considering Martin Lynch’s comments on belief and goal-setting, there was no mention of any potential changes on the psychology/sports performance side, so unclear if any changes on that front are forthcoming.

A downturn in the number of primary schools participating in GAA was also highlighted and is a worry for the future of the games in the county. Out of approx 90 schools, in the past 80 or so would play GAA but this is now down in the 60s, it was said. Cost of buses a factor.
