Patrick Horgan and David Clifford produced some moments of individual brilliance today.
THERE WAS PLENTY of drama across the All-Ireland football and hurling championships today.

David Clifford starred for Peter Keane’s side in Killarney, hitting seven points throughout a dominant display. The pick of his scores was this fine effort in the first half.

The emphatic win sets the Kingdom up nicely for their next Super 8s outing against Donegal next weekend.
David Clifford delights the home fans with this brilliant strike from the sideline. Kerry lead by eight and it's not half-time.
His second goal was particularly impressive as he managed to drill the ball into the bottom corner of the net after falling to his knees from a tackle.
That brilliant score pushed Cork into a two-point lead in the first half, but they were ultimately undone by Kilkenny in the end.
Underdogs Laois exited the hurling championship after a spirited display against Tipperary.
They battled well with 14 men for most of the second half, with Ross King capping off this brilliant team move to score a goal just before half-time.
