The ultimate 'grammarhawk,' he used his touch of genius for creativity and devilment in equal measure! Great instinct and perception for what he did. When Noel laid a bet, on horse or team, it was wise to follow.
Sad news from the local sports journalism world today with the passing of former Weekender sports editor and fountain of sporting knowledge Noel Coogan... may he rest easy..

Lively Nowlan Park game ends Galway 2-19 to Kilkenny's 1-19. Almost as good as some of the football!! Martin Keoghan with 0-7 for Kilkenny to add to 0-5 in Clare last week.

Looks like this is the first competitive two-pointer. Cork's Brian O'Driscoll.

Cuala join St Finbarr's as only clubs to do All-Ireland senior club hurling and football doubles. Con O'Callaghan joins elite group of 11 'Barrs players and Alan Kerins (Salthill-K'carra and Clarinbridge) to now have medals in both codes.

Cuala made sweat it out to win All-Ireland club football title, 3-14 to 1-16. When it counted Con O'Callaghan closed it out with block and assist for insurance score. But Peter Harte was magnificent after the break in defeat.

Na Fianna very impressive All Ireland club hurling champions. Even more so as first time winners.

20 inter-county backroom football teams have either an Ulster manager or coach involved. 4 out of 5 counties in Connacht, 7 in Leinster. Colm Keys: Ulster says ‘Go’ – why northern coaching expertise is growing in influence

Four club league appearances to qualify an inter-county player to play championship that same year. Noel McCaffrey is driving a Congress motion aimed at halting a growing disconnect to clubs.

With both All-Ireland senior club semi-finals now postponed until next Saturday there's a better chance the football final will remain fixed for the same date, Sunday Jan 19, with no league overlap. Provided finalists agree to eight-day turnaround.

Errigal Ciaran win their third Ulster (and Tyrone's third) club title in tense finish to their final with Kilcoo, 1-8 to 0-10 winners. Peadar Óg McCartan with a late winner worthy of settling any dispute.

Down and back to Thurles today listening to the great Barry Lenihan's laser-like election crunching on RTE radio. Stand aside John King!

Sensation Munster SHC club win for Sarsfields, 3-20 to 2-19 over Ballygunner, clear favourites to win outright. First Cork team since 2009 to win province. A 21-point swing from last year!

And just like that Na Fianna become the second club to win a Leinster football and hurling club double. 25 years apart in their case.
Cuala hang on v St Mary's Ardee to become first Leinster club to win provincial hurling and football titles. Con O'Callaghan part of both.

That's the idea, that there'll be a nominated player.
@EoinJoeyJordan Think I heard Jim say that an outfield player will be designated

@TsuDhoNim Nothing mentioned. Just a feeling that a count 'up' clock might be better than count 'down.'
