  2. Benion makes a save

    It was October 2007, and I was in Cobh to photograph the game between Cobh Ramblers and Dundalk FC. The visitors were beaten 1-0 but Chris Bennion stopped this attempt on goal.

    I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve photographed a football game, but this was the first one, a long time ago!

  3. Facilities: Modest but Evolving
    Croke Park is world-class, but many grassroots clubs operate on modest budgets.
    Recent years have seen major investment:

    National Indoor Arena

    High Performance Centres (Abbotstown, UL, Sport Ireland Campus)

  4. Ireland: A small island, a sporting powerhouse.
    With just over 5 million people, Ireland consistently produces elite athletes in rugby, soccer, Gaelic football, hurling, field hockey, boxing, athletics, and more. Here's how we do it🧵

  14. A big night for #Ireland last night at the European Athletics Champs.

    For only the third time in 90 years and 26 editions of the championships, Ireland will visit the top spot of the podium. The last two visits belong to the extraordinary Sonia ‘O’Sullivan back in 1998

    This gold medal performance, in the mixed 4 x 400m, served notice of the #Irish team’s medal intent at the upcoming Paris #Olympics

  16. Good piece from Cathal Dennehy on how #Ireland has now achieved recognition as a key player in the Mixed and Women’s 400m Relays.

    The podium visit at the #WorldRelays in the Bahamas was gratifying, but a similar result will likely require a better performance as athletes round out to full form. With good fortune, the new Irish records will not be long lived.
