The Aviva Lansdowne Road Nua, Dublin

Ireland beat Bosnia this evening at Lansdowne Road Nua 2-0 (3-1 on aggregate) in a play-off to secure their place at the finals.
Cuala (Dublin) 3-12 Clara (Kilkenny) 0-17

Another great win for Dalkey based GAA club Cuala at Parnell Park [yesterday], beating All-Ireland Club Championship favourites and Killkenny champions, Clara, by 4 points. I can’t see any record of Dublin team beating a Killkenny team in this competition. Ever. It must be something they put in their skinny soy cappuccinos.

Would he do it on a cold rainy night in Stoke?
Former Irish soccer international Kevin Kilbane dusted off his boots earlier this week to train with and coach Blessington FC as part of the #RoadToAviva inititive.
The initiative is aimed at clubs eliminated from the FAI Junior Cup to “shape up and get back on track” for next season.
Kevin Kilbane said:
For me it was strange getting out there again, but great. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I really miss every day on the training pitch. There were a few bobbles out there, but that’s what it’s about, that’s what these lads play on and have to deal with.
Amateurs!
