Andy Moran and Colm Boyle two of Mayo's most valued and popular players of any era. Paddy Tally brings much experience.

When this last happened for a year, 2014, players from the other four counties boycotted the McGrath Cup and made themselves unavailable for Munster. No McGrath Cup or inter-pros now. But some other reaction likely.

A fifth All-Ireland senior title for Jack O'Connor, plus two All-Ireland minor, 1 All-Ireland U21. A fifth 'Jack slam' - league/championship double. Phenomenal manager over three decades now.

The coronation complete for David Clifford. A second All-Ireland medal and a third 'footballer of the year' award now awaits in four years. 8-62 in the championship.

Cork's full-forward line held to just three points from play. Magnificent from Robert Doyle, Michael Breen and especially Ronan Maher on Brian Hayes. And the redemption of Darragh McCarthy. Stunning Tipp victory.

Fitting end for Tipp with Noel McGrath landing that last point. What a turnaround. From half-time. And from where they were last year.

The strange dynamic of so many people not wanting to see the country's favourite athlete go again. Katie Taylor has done enough, her life's work complete. This is the perfect off ramp.

Donegal crush Meath 3-26 to 0-15 to set up a 2014 All-Ireland final renewal. Their relentless running power was really impressive and will be a serious threat to Kerry.

Joe O'Connor wouldn't be out of place at inside centre down in Australia. Powerful performance going forward and getting back. Now a real 'footballer of the year' prospect. Along with the obvious!

Paudie Clifford made a clear second half impact for Kerry. David Clifford really came into it. But Joe O'Connor switching wings and then getting him into the middle such a crucial difference.

Kerry have set the highest 2025 bar now. Brilliant 2nd half, beyond Donegal's yesterday. 16 points ( 3 two-pointers) from 20 second half shots. 0-14 without reply in 15 minutes.

Dublin, Kerry and Galway, the top three on the All-Ireland roll of honour, all beaten by the same team in a championship season for the first time ever. Some performance from Meath. Jordan Morris with 1-6 unplayable.

Dessie Farrell leaves the main stage after three-and-a-half decades as one of GAA's most influential figures. All-Ireland winning player and manager (twice). All-Ireland minor and U 21 winning manager. And GPA architect.

Dublin's reluctance to shoot v Tyrone got more pronounced as game went on. Beaten 5-0 on two-pointers. Beaten 23-10 on two-pointers in 7 championship games. Big problem for them.

Donegal impressive in that 2nd half. Scored 1-15 to Monaghan's 0-5. Close to their highest level yet there. 13-point turnaround.

No 'mutual agreement' or words to that affect in Kevin McStay's Mayo departure note tonight. 'Relieved of his duties' sounds so much more abrupt. Had 3 years of 4 done. Probably wouldn't have continued anyway.

Absorbing game in Newry. Galway win 2-26 to 3-21 and Matthew Thompson again shows why he's the season's 'bolter'. Shane Walsh superb 2nd quarter too. But so much of the day belonged to Odhran Murdock, Down's playmaker, presence and chief agitator. Magnificent.

Noel McGrath's vision and ambition for that pass to Oisin O'Donoghue for Tipp's goal! Just class. And so synonymous with his great career.

That was one of the great defiant performances for many championship seasons from any team. Immense from Dublin hurlers. Sean Brennan's save from Gillane!
