Ulster GAA president Michael Geoghegan expects the McKenna Cup to return for the 2026 season.After being dropped for 2025, the competition, alongside similar pre-season competitions in Leinster, Munster and Connacht, are set to have their reinstatement to the calendar confirmed at a meeting of the GAA's Central Council on Saturday in Croke Park. "I do, I fully anticipate a return because we were told last year at Central Council, I actually was there as a proxy for the then Ulster President Ciaran McLaughlin, and when that decision was taken we were told that it was going to be parked for 12 months," Geoghegan told BBC Sport NI. "Now I also know that you know within the association there's a lot of discussion going on in terms of the duration of the season and in terms of the All-Ireland Finals as to when they will be played."There is a desire among a lot of the GAA public to see the All-Ireland Finals being put back so as a consequence of that we don't know what's coming down the line but I certainly hope that in 2026 we get the opportunity [to play the McKenna Cup]. "The 2026 edition would also mark the 100th anniversary since the McKenna Cup's inception so I think it'd be a great landmark and a great occasion to have if we could actually mark that 100 years of competition." Geoghegan continued. The suspension of the competition for the 2025 season had significant financial ramifications for the Ulster Council and the clubs within the province as the tournament traditionally drew large attendances. "Last year in particular probably would have been one of the biggest competitions because of the fact that we had Armagh on there as All-Ireland champions and the fact that they were taking capacity crowds to the Athletic Grounds for every game."I mean we could be potentially looking at losing up on ￡300,000 last year," the Ulster GAA President confirmed."Now people think of that as money going to Ulster Council but you have to remember that 83p of every ￡1 the competition earns equates to well over ￡200,000 in grant aid that will be coming back to our clubs in the province. "So there's a potential loss to the clubs of ￡200,000 by losing it last year, so that was a massive financial hit for us."ShareO'Connor to be ratified as new Cork hurling bosspublished at 16:49 2 September16:49 2 SeptemberImage source, InphoImage caption, O'Connor won three All-Irelands as a player with CorkCork have confirmed Ben O'Connor is set to be ratified as the county's new senior hurling manager on Tuesday night.The Newtownshandrum man has been given a three-year term, taking over from Pat Ryan who opted to step down after three years in charge when he led the Rebels to two All-Ireland finals and their first league title in 27 years.O'Connor won three All-Irelands with the Rebels between 1999 and 2005 and led the county's U20s to the 2023 All-Ireland title.Confirmed as part of the backroom team will be O'Connor's former Cork team-mate Ronan Curran who is one of three selectors.

I leave with incredible memories, lasting friendships and look forward to many years supporting from the stands."Hughes suffered a serious leg injury during the 2024 Ulster Championship but returned to play a part in his club's county championship that same year before helping Monaghan back into Division One this season.His manager Gabriel Bannigan described him as "a true Monaghan warrior", he said."He would literally stand on his head for the good of Monaghan football," he said."To me Darren had it all as a player. He had pace and power, excellent defensively and a powerhouse going forward, and of course he was teak tough."He was ultra consistent - you could be guaranteed at least an 8 out of 10 every day that man went out."Share18:06 25 AugustCullyhanna confirm Casey making 'good progress', published at 18:06 25 AugustCullyhanna confirm Casey making 'good progress'AttributionGaelic GamesKernan takes up coaching role with Meath published at 15:36 25 August15:36 25 AugustDavid MohanBBC Sport NI journalistImage source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Kernan was defence coach with Sligo in 2025Aaron Kernan has taken up a coaching role with the Meath senior football team for 2026.The former Armagh star has agreed to join Robbie Brennan's management team for next season after serving as defence coach with Sligo in 2025 under former team-mate Tony McEntee.Meath made strides in 2025 despite losing coaches Martin Corey and Joe McMahon in March with both now involved with Down club side Kilcoo as Conor Gillespie and Shane Supple stepped into the breach.Still, the Royals pushed on by reaching the Leinster final with a semi-final win against Dublin, but would go on to record victories against Kerry and Galway in the All-Ireland championship, only to see their run ended by Donegal at the semi-final stage - their first time back in the last four since 2009.With Brennan beginning to plan for next year, he has enlisted the services of the highly respected Kernan - son of Armagh's 2002 All-Ireland winning manager Joe - to add his expertise.Kernan enjoyed a stellar playing career for club and county, winning four Ulster titles with Armagh between 2004 and 2009, while picking up the Young Player of the Year award in his breakthrough year of 2005, departing the inter-county scene after the 2014 season.With his native Crossmaglen, Kernan won 18 county, eight provincial and three All-Ireland titles and was named man-of-the-match in the 2007 final victory against Kerry's Dr Crokes. The 41-year-old retired from club action after Crossmaglen's 2023 Ulster Club Championship loss to Trillick in 2023.ShareDoran named new Antrim bosspublished at 21:20 19 August21:20 19 AugustImage source, InphoImage caption, Mark Doran previously worked with Roscommon, Down and ClareMark Doran has been named the Antrim senior football manager.The Slaughtneil boss will replace Andy McEntee, whose three-year term in charge of the Saffrons came to an end after their Tailteann Cup defeat against Wexford in June.Doran, who was linked to the Derry job last year before it went to Paddy Tally, had also been working with Roscommon footballers under then manager Davy Burke. Antrim county committee chairperson Seamus McMullan said Doran's "depth of experience" was an important factor in his successful application for the job. Before the Rossies, Doran held inter-county coaching roles with his native Down and Clare."Mark has built a solid reputation as a coach and manager," McMullan said."His depth of experience and understanding of the modern game make him an ideal fit to lead our senior footballers forward."ShareFormer Ulster GAA president Galligan diespublished at 12:05 19 August12:05 19 AugustImage source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Galligan served as Ulster GAA president between 2019 and 2022Ulster GAA has expressed "deep sorrow and profound shock" at the death of its former president Oliver Galligan. Galligan served as the 37th president of the Ulster Council between 2019 and 2022, a term which saw the Cavan native help guide the organisation through the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition to roles as Ulster GAA PRO, treasurer and vice-president, Galligan was a member of the Casement Park Stadium Board, while he also served on the Central Competitions Control Committee and Croke Park Stadium Board.As a player, Galligan won three Cavan titles with Cavan Gaels and played senior inter-county football with the Breffni County between 1969 and 1973. He also captained Cavan to an Ulster minor title in 1967.Having served as Cavan Gaels chairman and as a member of Cavan's county board for 15 years, he joined the Ulster Council as an officer in 2010. "Ulster GAA expresses profound sorrow at Oliver's passing and we extend our deepest sympathies to his wife Frances, his sons John and Oliver (Jnr), his daughter Elaine (Peter), and the wider Galligan family circle during this time of great loss. "We remember also his colleagues at Cavan Gaels and in Cavan GAA. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all."ShareDonnelly steps down as Fermanagh bosspublished at 11:15 18 August11:15 18 AugustImage source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Donnelly led Fermanagh to this year's Tailteann Cup semi-finalsKieran Donnelly has stepped down as Fermanagh senior football boss after four years in charge.In a statement on Monday, Fermanagh GAA said Donnelly informed county officers at the weekend of his decision to exit the role, 12 months after being handed a fresh three-year term. "Fermanagh GAA would like to sincerely thank Kieran and his entire backroom team for their dedication and commitment over the last four years," read the county board's statement. "Transitioning from Covid and the new playing rules has not been an easy task. While silverware may have eluded, Kieran brought a great culture and positive environment to the senior side."We wish Kieran, his family and all the backroom team every success in the future."Former Fermanagh player Donnelly, who succeeded Ryan McMenamin in 2021, said it was an "honour and a privilege" to lead his native county."I wish to extend my sincere gratitude to my backroom team for their dedication and professionalism throughout my tenure," said the former Scotstown and Cavan Gaels boss. "The players have shown tremendous growth and development, and I am proud of the progress the squad has made during this period. I would like to wish the players, management, and supporters of Fermanagh GAA every success in the years ahead."Donnelly led Fermanagh to promotion from Division Three in 2023, but was unable to avoid the drop last year. The Ernesiders missed out on promotion this year and were edged out by Down in a tight Ulster SFC quarter-final in Enniskillen. Donnelly's side managed to regroup to top their Tailteann Cup group and beat Sligo in the quarter-finals, only to fall to eventual champions Kildare in the last four. His departure means there are two Ulster counties on the lookout for new managers, with Antrim still searching for Andy McEntee's successor.

The condition affects the nerves in the brain and spinal cord which tell your muscles what to do and it is estimated there are 450 people living with the incurable condition in Ireland at any time.The physical demands of Birt's work as an engineer ensured he retained his fitness long after his playing days on the football field were over, but in early 2023 he noticed changes in his body with spasms and cramps, as well as lacking power in his legs.Initially explained by doctors as fatigue, Birt's condition failed to improve upon his return from a trip to Australia to visit his son in late 2023, and a visit to a private clinic resulted in an initial diagnosis of MND that was later confirmed following a round of tests"When I was first diagnosed, the first person I thought about was Anto Finnegan because I played against him and we had a tight call with St Paul's all the time," Birt said of the day he was diagnosed.Those with MND are given on average four years to live but former Antrim captain Finnegan died nine years after his diagnosis.Despite his condition, he lived life with a smile on his face and Birt intends to do the same.On Saturday, Seamus and his family will host a big breakfast and 5K walk and fun run at Bellaghy GAC before they take part in a skydive with the funds raised going to charity."You've two choices - get up and get on with it or lie down," he tells the podcast."I'm sure I've had it two years but it hasn't affected me too bad yet. I'm 61, had a good life and enjoyed everything. Whatever turn it takes for me, I'll be ready for it."You can download and listen to the GAA Social on BBC Sounds hereShareDoran in the running for Antrim football role published at 16:01 11 August16:01 11 AugustImage source, InphoImage caption, Longstone native Doran was reappointed as Slaughtneil manager in March despite holding a coaching role with Roscommon this yearSlaughtneil boss Mark Doran has emerged a candidate for the Antrim senior football manager's job.The Saffrons have yet to appoint a successor to Andy McEntee, whose three-year term ended following the Tailteann Cup defeat against Wexford in June, with an invitation for applications sent out in July.Longstone native Doran was linked to the Derry job last year following the departure of Mickey Harte but instead took up a coaching role with Roscommon under manager Davy Burke, who has since departed.Doran previously held a coaching role with his native Down between 2019 and 2021, whilst helping guide Ballybay to the 2022 Monaghan title as co-manager. He has also held coaching roles in Clare and Wicklow before the switch to the Rossies in 2025. He stepped down as Slaughtneil manager following their Derry SFC semi-final defeat to Glen last year but was reappointed in March.Interviews for the Antrim job are due to take place on Monday evening with Louth's Colin Kelly also in the running.Kelly managed his home county to successive promotions from Division Four and Division Three in 2016 and 2017 before spells with Westmeath, Wicklow and most recently, Cavan club side Kingscourt Stars.Also in the frame is former St Brigid's manager Anthony McGrath, who was a coach under Stephen Poacher in Leitrim this year, while Barry Dillon, who led Ulster University to the 2024 Sigerson Cup, has also been nominated.Paddy Bradley had been linked to the role, but last week it emerged he had withdrawn from the race.ShareArmagh lose All-Ireland Junior final against Laoispublished at 21:20 10 August21:20 10 AugustImage source, InphoImage caption, Laois produced a strong second-half display to beat Armagh in the deciderArmagh were beaten in the Camogie All-Ireland Junior final as they suffered a 2-15 to 0-12 defeat against Laois at Croke Park.The Leinster side made a dream start to the showpiece occasion as Grainne Delaney drilled home a goal inside the first minute.A block from Gemma McCann prevented Aimee Collier from scoring another moments later as Laois eventually moved four points ahead.The Orchard County responded well after a shaky start to level, and the game was end-to-end from that point on with Eimear Hassett hitting the post as she attempted to score Laois' second goal.The sides went in level at the break, with Armagh then edging two points ahead early in the second half, but Laois came roaring back.They proved too strong as they outscored Armagh 1-10 to 0-2 in a strong final quarter display with Amy Daly scoring their second goal.In the All-Ireland Senior final, Galway claimed a fifth title with a narrow 1-14 to 1-13 victory against Cork.Carrie Dolan scored the winner with a free in injury-time as they avenged last year's defeat by the same opponents.In the All-Ireland Intermediate final, Offaly edged past Kerry 0-14 to 0-11 after a tense and tight affair in Dublin.ShareDublin confirm Brennan as new managerpublished at 16:34 8 August16:34 8 AugustImage source, InphoImage caption, Ger Brennan led Louth to a first Leinster title in 68 yearsDublin have confirmed the appointment of All-Ireland winner Ger Brennan as manager.Brennan replaces Dessie Farrell, who left his role after Dublin's All-Ireland quarter-final loss to Tyrone.A two-time All-Ireland winner as a player with Dublin, Brennan led Louth to a first Leinster Championship title in 68 years in June with victory over Meath.Louth's 2025 season ultimately ended with a 2-22 to 0-12 defeat by Donegal in Ballybofey at the preliminary quarter-final stage on 22 June.He left his role with Louth in July and Brennan has now been appointed as Dublin manager on a three-year deal."Ger has achieved the highest honours as a player with Dublin and he has our full support in leading the Dublin Senior Football panel in pursuit of further honours in the coming years," said county chairman Ken O'Sullivan."We wish Ger, his team and the panel the very best and look forward to the 2026 season".Share'This group has serious heart' - All-Ireland joy for Tyronepublished at 08:05 4 August08:05 4 AugustImage source, InphoImage caption, Tyrone beat Laois by six points to seal their first intermediate title since 2018Tyrone boss Darren McCann praised his side's "heart and determination" in Sunday's All-Ireland Ladies Intermediate final victory over Laois.

"We were creating chances but we just weren't taking them, which was frustrating for us."When we play relaxed football, we are a hard team to stop and we played relaxed football, especially in the second half."The whole group have serious heart and determination as a collective and that was a collective performance.

"It just didn't fall our way today. It seemed to be mistake after mistake sometimes and we were constantly trying to regroup the girls to go again, go again," said Scullion, who leads the team alongside Michael Devlin."It maybe took a toll on them, but I'm not taking anything away from Louth. Louth were brilliant today. They set up defensively, kept their same structure and they were able to break out and it caused us problems. "They were able to work the ball around and get their scores.

The Dubs, who were knocked out in last year's quarter-finals, started with intent and led 1-2 to 0-0 after seven minutes, with Nicole Owens finding the net after a couple of early Hannah Tyrrell scores. Niamh Hetherton also plundered a three-pointer to give Dublin a commanding 2-9 to 0-4 lead at half-time. Meath - who are managed by former Armagh boss Shane McCormack - started the second half strongly with a trio of scores, but were unable to get close enough to their Leinster rivals to set up a tense climax to the game. It is more disappointment for the Royals, who were searching for their third title after breaking through with back-to-back titles in 2021 and 2022. The result also completes a clean sweep of wins for Dublin over Meath in 2025 after victory in the league meeting and two Leinster Championship fixtures, including the final. In front of a 48,089-strong crowd, former Ireland rugby international Tyrrell top-scored for Dublin with 0-5 in the final game of her inter-county career before hobbling off with an injury late on.

Tyrone were initially frustrated in their hunt for goals, being denied first by Laois corner-back Faye McEvoy's goal-line clearance before Sorcha Gormley was denied from the penalty spot after Horisk was fouled.But after Laois carelessly gifted possession back to the Ulster side, player of the match Gormley teed up Horisk, who drilled a low shot past Eimear Barry to help give Tyrone a 1-7 to 1-5 half-time lead. Laois kept in touch after the restart with a couple of Mo Nerney points and Fiona Dooley's score, O'Neill and Horisk ensured Tyrone kept a slender advantage.The Leinster side's hopes of overturning the deficit in the closing stages were dented when Ciara Crowley's yellow card was followed by an O'Neill free.Tyrone were a point up when Muldoon delivered the decisive blow, finishing low to the net from close range with six minutes remaining. Having established a more comfortable cushion, O'Neill, Gormley and captain Aoibhinn McHugh sealed a six-point win and a place in the 2026 senior championship for Tyrone.
