The Road To Russia 2018: Who Are Ireland’s Star Performers?

By Evan Coughlan | August 29, 2017 | (No) | 1777
The Republic of Ireland team have passed the halfway point in their World Cup qualifying campaign and as things currently stand in Group D, Martin and Roy’s Boys are level on points with Serbia at the top, and are only two goals behind them on goal difference.

However, before we start loading up th..

By Ryan Grace | August 25, 2017 | (No) | 13769
For some people, eating out and eating healthy can mean two entirely different things! The temptation to stop off at the nearest chipper or pig-out in a greasy spoon can be pretty overwhelming. However, thanks to Cork city’s wide range of family-owned and independent cafés, restaurants, and bistros, eating healthy has never tasted so good. Whether you’re looking for a wholesome salad lunch or some nutritious fine dining, the good people of the Rebel County most definitely have you covered...

By Ryan Grace | August 18, 2017 | (No) | 6079
After 4 years, 186 appearances, 105 goals, and 80 assists, Brazilian winger Neymar has left Barcelona to join PSG in Ligue 1 for a world-record transfer fee worth £200 million (€222 million).

All-Ireland Hurling Semi-Final Preview – Cork vs. Waterford

By Evan Coughlan | August 12, 2017 | (No) | 2060
Before the championship even began this year, the Cork hurlers were written off as a team who were going nowhere fast. After a poor 2016 season, where they were knocked out in the second round of the qualifiers to Wexford, everyone seemingly forgot that this is Cork hurling we are talking about and it would only be a matter of time before the Cork hurlers were back firing on all cylinders once again. Waterford on the other hand were expected to at least get to the semi-final stage again this yea..

By Adam Kenny | August 9, 2017 | (No) | 4762
