This past weekend saw the long-awaited return of football to our screens as GAA fans were treated to a weekend of bumper league action.

Brian, Noel & John McGrath all starting for Tipp today. I’ve no doubt Mary had the best porridge and the freshest eggs ready for them all this morning!!!! A great achievement and a very proud day for them all in @Loughmore_Gaa. 👍🏻🇺🇦. First 3 brothers since the Bonnars I would say

Was that David Clifford or Lionel Messi? 🤣

The only thing worse than being chosen as DUP leader is being chosen to mark David Clifford... https://t.co/Fh0PaxVRVk

Just finished interviewing Michael Murphy, a young Tyrone supporter nervously waiting, approached him.

“Could I have your gloves”

MM “of course you can” chatted to him and the young cub, covered in Tyrone gear- was beaming. Class man, class footballer. Lovely moment

I stand to be corrected but Croke Park Referee's Committee came out and said that the advantage was to give the free I like many others strongly disagree so its not our Referee's at fault at present #GAA

Clare back on the field, Wexford still in the dressing room getting the last of the tea and Tayto. Sun is out in Ennis, breeze upgraded to a gentle zephyr.

Wonder what Paul Donaghy did to piss Mickey Harte off 😁

Let’s hope the @OfficialCamogie see sense and do the right thing and what was promised. https://t.co/lTBXUGoMCI

Water breaks. The most unnecessary stoppage in GAA. Get rid of them now. Watching the groups I see team talks and hardly anyone taking water. Ruins game and this one is bad enough #gaa

Best wishes to Sligo’s Neil Ewing in his retirement from inter county football.

Neil made his debut in 2008, soldiering for 13 seasons with the Yeats men, and also captaining his county in 2017.https://t.co/l886xBoxG8 pic.twitter.com/YQxHCm2Wxz
