Shane Dowling column: Nobody could say that these double headers are working.

A Saturday lunchtime double header simply doesn’t work. But we knew that already after the last couple of years. Can we not be back here again in 12 months’ time please?

The breakfast was squashed into a lunchbox as I was racing around the house. Dalo was lucky I only left him waiting 10 minutes. But Rory O’Connor was silly in his second offence. For the first, Johnny Murphy will tell you that he applied the rules correctly but, if I was in his position, I would have said something like, ‘Rory, just be careful, I don’t want to be dishing out cards this early’ and on we go.

I believe it’s important that Micheal Donoghue stays with the project, because that’s exactly what it is. And yet it’s entirely understandable given the breadth of people that will want to attend because of the man he was.I grew up in an era where all the big games were live on TV. Tuning into the wireless as a 12-year-old in the mid-2000s wasn’t the done thing, so for that reason he resonates with older generations more than mine.I met him just once, when Na Piarsaigh staged a competition, part of which was a quiz for which Micheál was putting the questions.
