The contrast couldn’t have been more pronounced. At around 4 o’clock on Saturday afternoon, 32 runners lined up for the Aintree Grand National, watched by a capacity crowd of thousands upon thousands. Looking in on tellies across the world were millions more. Willie Mullins, arguably the greatest Na

Several athletes born here won Olympic Gold for other countries before Ireland competed in the Games for the first time as an independent state, in 1924. Chief among them was John Flanagan, who, competing for USA, won the Hammer at three celebrations, in Paris 1900, St Louis 1904, and London 1908. D

The Guardian newspaper reported: “Of late, draws between Celtic and Rangers have occurred with monotonous regularity, and the ill-informed man in the street has been heard to hit off the situation by the explanation that these indecisive matches have been ‘arranged for a gate’.” Celtic and Rangers c

A win, is a win, is a win, and when it comes to a knock-out that’s all that counts. Louth beat Wexford at Portlaoise’s O’Moore Park on Sunday and so qualify for a Leinster SFC semi-final with Kildare. The score has a glossy look about it, 4-10 to 0-15, two of the goals coming from the excellent Ciar

The Mater Hospital Foundation is calling on people across Co. Louth to lace up, head out and take on its new 31 Miles in May challenge, supporting dementia care in the Mater Hospital.

Robbie Benson was left shocked when former Dundalk FC head coach Stephen O’Donnell was dismissed after two-and-a-half years in the Oriel Park hotseat.

Brian Gartland says he has no intentions of managing Dundalk FC on a permanent basis. Alongside Liam Burns, the Lilywhite legend took charge of the 0-0 SSE Airtricity League Premier Division draw with St Patrick’s Athletic at home – four days after Stephen O’Donnell was dismissed as head coach follo

The wait goes on for Dundalk FC who are still awaiting their first win in this season’s SSE Airtricity League Premier Division after losing 1-0 to Bohemians away from home. James Akintunde’s 80th-minute header condemned The Lilywhites to their worst-ever start to a League of Ireland season as they s

Louth manager Ger Brennan got the result but not the performance from his side's victory over Wexford on Sunday. “Championship is about winning,” Brennan mused. “Was it pretty? It wasn’t, but there were collective moments of very impressive attack play which resulted in the two penalties and the goa

Dundalk FC caretaker head coach Brian Gartland believes the club’s new recruits need an injection of confidence following what has been a disastrous start to the 2024 season. The Lilywhites brought in 11 players over the winter, with Robbie Mahon and Dara Keane the only two acquisitions to have befo

Louth are now high rollers in the the now much maligned Leinster championship and they duly dolled out a seven point victory against a plucky Wexford in second gear. Four goals caught the headlines in O’Moore Park, a brace each from man of the match Ciarán Downey and top scorer Sam Mulroy but the sh

The Louth Senior Hurlers fell to defeat against Roscommon in the opening round of the Nicky Rackard Cup on Saturday afternoon, losing on a score line of 1-20 to 1-14 in Dr. Hyde Park.

Louth advanced to EirGrid Leinster Football U20 Championship quarter-final after suffering a narrow defeat against Kildare in Darver on Tuesday night. The Wee County were second best in the first half and were dealt the sucker punch of two quickfire goals to trail at the break, before mounting a thr

Last year it took the country’s top teams to end the Reds’ hopes in the two premier competitions. And in a meeting with the third-best team, Derry – who many would contend deserve to be higher in the pecking order after last Sunday week’s spectacular Croke Park win – Louth went down by only a goal.

We’re going on all poetic this week. Somewhere else on these pages you’ll find homage in rhyme to the Louth All-Ireland-winning team of 1957. Now here’s something else: Breathes a man with soul so dead/ Who never to himself hath said/”This is my own, my native land?”. Sir Walter Scott, I’m sure, won
