By Mark Lynch  A unique pairing of semi-finals is on the horizon in the AIB All-Ireland Club Senior Football Championship, with two relative underdogs attempting to break through to the echelon of All-Ireland winners.

Sports opinion: the genial gambling hypocrite

By Gary Elbert  Michael D. Higgins made headlines back in July when lambasting the proliferation of betting companies advertising their services at sporting events.
