Patrick Kelly: Cork's delicate balance between rotation and risk
In 2027, Cork and Limerick will begin their National League campaigns in Division One and Four respectively. This should point to the gulf in quality between the two sides facing off in Sunday's opening round of the Munster SFC. It was only after a 24th-minute Limerick red card put paid to any contest that Cork pulled away to win comfortably by 11 points. A cursory glance at the starting team last year suggests as many as six changes to the starting Cork side. The reality is that this year's league campaign was no place for experimentation; it was win-at-all-costs.

Aintree punter's £100,000 National bet pays Maximus dividends
When one punter showed complete confidence in I Am Maximus by placing a bet of £100,000 (€115,000) with an on-course bookmaker about him winning the Randox Grand National for a second time, perhaps the writing was on the wall for his Aintree rivals. Well-known pundit and personality Johnny Dineen was fronting the Fitzwilliam pitch that took the bet and told the Press Association: “It’s the biggest bet we’ve ever taken, £100,000 at 8-1. “It’s our biggest bet by a mile and we’ll have to try to trade some of it off in the ring. With Dineen having left to catch a flight home, it was left to Kieran Stokes to tell Fitzwilliam’s tale of woe. “You grew up on stories of how good trade was in betting rings and this has been a throwback to that I suppose.
