Stephen Cluxton Joins Dublin Management as Coach – Ends Playing Career

Stephen Cluxton: From Pitch to Sideline as Dublin Coach & Selector

Stephen Cluxton – the man who redefined the goalkeeper position – will officially hang up his gloves as a player and join Ger Brennan’s new-look Dublin management team for 2026.

“He’s 100% Part of the Management Team”

Speaking at Staycity Aparthotels in Dublin city centre, new manager Brennan confirmed Cluxton’s next chapter:

“Stephen won’t be playing. He’s there 100 per cent as a coach and selector. His duties go beyond goalkeeping — he’ll be looking at the bigger picture.”

Brennan stressed that Dublin’s current goalkeeping coach Josh Moran will remain in place, with Cluxton adding an extra layer of tactical insight across the whole pitch.

Cluxton, Bastick & Rock: Leaders Reunited

The Sky Blues’ boss also confirmed that Denis Bastick and Dean Rock will join Cluxton in the dugout, alongside sports scientist Niall Moyna. Brennan could not hide his excitement:

“Their ability to read the game on the field was something that helped us get over the line in 2011 and beyond. Now, we get that same brainpower off the pitch – it’s a huge boost.”

Quiet Exit, Big Legacy

True to his understated style, Cluxton will not issue a formal retirement statement. Brennan admitted with a smile:

“If you can get him to use the word ‘retirement’, fair play to you! But he’s definitely not part of the playing group — he’s fully management now.”

Cluxton, who made his SFC debut in 2001, revolutionised Dublin’s game with his short kick-outs and laser-like accuracy. Brennan says that insight will now be passed on:

“He knows what defenders don’t like, what goalkeepers hate, and how to create space. That experience is priceless — and he’ll be heavily involved in coaching on the field.”

Backroom Boost

Brennan also confirmed that Martin Kennedy is returning as lead athletic development trainer, supported by Graham Norton. Colm Flanagan will manage logistics, and most of the analysis and medical team will remain in place.

A Sky-Blue Future

Cluxton’s presence on the sideline ensures Dublin’s next generation will benefit from one of the game’s greatest thinkers. His calm leadership and unmatched tactical mind helped deliver nine All-Ireland titles and revolutionise how Gaelic football is played. Now, he’ll shape the future — one training session at a time.

The Cluxton era as a player may be over — but his influence on Dublin football is only getting started.

Wicklow SFC: Heavy Bans After Rathnew vs Carnew Emmets Brawl

Wicklow SFC: Heavy Bans After Rathnew vs Carnew Emmets Brawl

Five Rathnew players sanctioned with bans of up to five years after off-field brawl in Aughrim. Both clubs fined; appeals remain possible.

Major Sanctions Following Quarter-Final Brawl

Wicklow GAA has issued heavy punishments after shocking scenes at the Senior Football Championship quarter-final between Rathnew and Carnew Emmets in Echelon Park, Aughrim, on 30 August. The match ended in controversy after a serious fight broke out on the terrace in the closing minutes.

Footage of the incident, which has circulated widely on social media, shows a mass brawl involving spectators and individuals entering from the pitch. The violent outbreak lasted for roughly one minute and overshadowed the on-field action.

Bans and Fines

Five Rathnew players reprimanded for offences arising from the quarter-final.
Bans range from three years to five years, with at least one player sidelined for the maximum term.
Both Rathnew and Carnew Emmets handed significant financial penalties.

All parties have the right to appeal the punishments. The sanctions were confirmed by the Wicklow GAA CCC, though details of exact offences remain undisclosed.

Controversial scenes marred the Wicklow SFC quarter-final in Aughrim.

Official Responses

Neither Rathnew Chairperson Harry Murphy nor Carnew Emmets Chairperson Brian Doran commented when approached. Michael O’Neill of the Wicklow GAA CCC also declined to comment, while the Wicklow GAA executive has remained tight-lipped.

“The deliberations will be sent to clubs by the CCC disciplinary,” Wicklow GAA Chairperson Damien Byrne said. “It is only right to let the clubs digest and deal with these matters internally, and no one in the GAA condones this behaviour.”

What’s Next?

The controversy comes just as the Wicklow Senior Football Championship semi-finals approach this weekend, alongside the semi-finals in the Intermediate and Junior grades. Despite the fallout, attention will quickly turn back to on-field matters as the county prepares for a big weekend of knockout football.

Supporters are urged to respect players, officials and fellow fans to ensure a safe and enjoyable championship.

Gaelic Football Review Committee Publishes Final Report

JoeNa Connacht — Thu, 04 Sep 2025 17:21:11 +0000

Football Review Committee Publishes Final Report

The GAA’s Football Review Committee (FRC), chaired by Jim Gavin, has released its Final Report, concluding an 18-month process aimed at reshaping Gaelic football for players and spectators alike. Established in early 2024 by GAA President Jarlath Burns, the FRC reviewed every aspect of the game, trialling new rules during the 2025 season before publishing their recommendations.

Background and Process

The committee undertook one of the most extensive consultation exercises in GAA history, gathering over 15,000 survey responses and hosting provincial workshops, sandbox trial games, and referee consultations. Feedback from players, coaches, administrators, and supporters fed into the trials run across inter-county and club competitions, monitored by the new Games Intelligence Unit.

Key Recommendations

1 v 1 throw-ins at the start of each half, reducing fouls and creating attacking chances.
Kick-outs beyond the 40m arc to encourage long kicking and aerial contests.
Goalkeeper restrictions – no recycling possession in their own half except inside the large rectangle.
4/3 Structure Rule – at least four players in their own half and three in the opposition half.
Solo and Go restarts after fouls to speed up transitions.
40m scoring arc awarding two points for long-range scores.
Expanded black card offences covering cynical fouls, dissent, and melees.

Impact and Reception

Survey feedback was overwhelmingly positive. More than 90% of respondents said Gaelic football had improved under the temporary rules, citing faster play, more kicking, and the revival of one-on-one contests. While the Advanced Mark drew mixed reviews, the overall consensus was that the sport is “in an infinitely better state” following the changes.

Next Steps

The proposals will go before Special Congress in late 2025. If approved, the rules will be incorporated into the Official Guide for permanent adoption in 2026, marking a new era for Gaelic football.

Michael Murphy tipped for Donegal return in 2026 as McEniff praises “wonderful footballer”

JoeNa Connacht — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 07:10:08 +0000

Michael Murphy tipped for Donegal return in 2026 as McEniff hails “wonderful footballer”

Donegal legend Michael Murphy looks set to commit for another season in 2026, with Brian McEniff declaring his return a huge boost following last month’s All-Ireland final defeat to Kerry.

Donegal’s hopes of going one better in 2026 have been given a major lift amid strong indications that talisman Michael Murphy will line out for another campaign. The 36-year-old, who came out of retirement this past season, is now tipped to extend his inter-county career for at least another year.

“He’s a wonderful footballer” — McEniff

Brian McEniff, who guided Donegal to their historic 1992 All-Ireland title, has been buoyed by the talk around Murphy’s decision.

“He’s a wonderful footballer. He’s a hell of a good guy as well,” McEniff said, describing Murphy’s influence both on and off the pitch. “I hear that Michael Murphy is going to give us another year. They can say what they want, but Murphy came back after two years and he was player of the match for Donegal in every match he played.

“And had Donegal won the All-Ireland, he probably would be Footballer of the Year. He’s very good to bring players into a game. He always takes a look at the opportunity to lay off the ball, more so than take his own score. He’s a great man to have in among the players, because he’s a great players’ man.”

Donegal’s bounce-back potential

McEniff is confident that Jim McGuinness and his squad can regroup after the disappointment of losing to Kerry in the 2025 final.

“We’ll probably take up another couple of young players, because we had a pretty good U-20 side this year. I’m very confident that Donegal will be there or thereabouts next year again,” he said.

McGuinness under scrutiny

McGuinness, who masterminded Donegal’s second Sam Maguire triumph in 2012, has been widely credited for revitalising the county during his second stint. But McEniff admitted the All-Ireland final defeat exposed key flaws.

“Jim had a bad All-Ireland final,” he admitted. “He didn’t pick up No 14, he was given the freedom of the park. Paudie Clifford … he wrecked us. He’ll realise what he has to do, and he’ll come back and he’ll do it because he’s that sort of a man.”

Reflecting on the loss, McEniff added: “We didn’t give an account of ourselves in the All-Ireland final. We didn’t battle, which was the worst part of it.”

Murphy still the talisman

If confirmed, Murphy’s decision to go again in 2026 will be celebrated across the county. His leadership, ability to lift teammates, and enduring class on the pitch could yet prove decisive as Donegal aim to finally dethrone Kerry next season.

Roscommon manager race: Rochford v Dolan – odds, experience & local ties

JoeNa Connacht — Thu, 14 Aug 2025 08:23:07 +0000

Rochford v Dolan: Two‑Horse Race for Roscommon Job

Roscommon are closing in on a new senior football manager to replace Davy Burke, and all signs point to a straight shootout between Stephen Rochford and Dessie Dolan.

Betting: Rochford 1/3
Dolan 2/1

Why Rochford is the Bookies’ Pick

Stephen Rochford brings high‑level pedigree. He managed Mayo (2015–2018), leading them to two All‑Ireland finals. Most recently, the Crossmolina native was part of Kevin McStay’s Mayo coaching ticket and stepped in as interim manager this season when McStay took a health‑related break. After Mayo’s Championship exit at the round‑robin stage, the county board moved on from McStay and his entire setup, including Rochford. Even so, his big‑game experience and tactical organisation explain the short odds.

Why Dolan Could Win the Dressing Room

Dessie Dolan (born 11 July 1979) is one of the game’s most respected modern figures. He managed the Westmeath senior team (2022–2024) and remains a calm, authoritative presence. Crucially for Roscommon supporters, Dolan has close local ties through his cousin Frankie Dolan — the St Brigid’s legend and All‑Ireland club winner. That connection could make him the fans’ choice, offering cultural fit and instant buy‑in across the county.

The Brief: What Roscommon Need Next

Structure & game management: tightening late‑game scenarios and defensive transitions.
Player development: building depth and clarity of roles for spring consistency.
Momentum: converting league stability into summer breakthroughs.

Verdict

If Roscommon prioritise proven All‑Ireland‑level experience, the market logic points to Rochford (1/3). If they favour a trusted leader with deep Roscommon connections and strong dressing‑room chemistry, Dolan (2/1) is a compelling alternative. Either way, the decision that follows Burke’s tenure will shape the Rossies’ next two seasons.

Odds are indicative and may change.

Club hurling & football fixtures, betting tips & previews – August 16th & 17th

Declan Connor — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 12:12:31 +0000

Weekend Club GAA Preview – Hurling & Football

Live club GAA scores click here

Friday – Cork & Dublin Set the Tone

The weekend begins under lights in Cork where Blackrock meet St Finbarr’s (19:30) in a classic city hurling battle. Across the country in Dublin, Naomh Barróg face Craobh Chiaráin (18:45) before Kilmacud Crokes take on St Vincent’s (20:30) — Crokes are fancied, but Vincent’s have the pedigree to spring a surprise.

Saturday – Hurling Heavyweights

In Cork, Midleton are tipped to account for Newcestown (17:15), Kanturk and Douglas (18:30) looks tight, and Sarsfields are narrow favourites against Erin’s Own (19:00).
Dublin has key fixtures in St Brigid’s vs Cuala (15:30) and Lucan Sarsfields vs St Jude’s (17:30), while Na Fianna and Ballyboden (17:30) is the capital’s headline hurling clash.
In Kilkenny, O’Loughlin Gaels vs Dicksboro (13:30) will draw a crowd, while Ballyhale Shamrocks are expected to overpower Lisdowney (18:00).
Waterford stages Abbeyside vs Fourmilewater (19:00) with the hosts edging favouritism, and Dungarvan vs Clonea (17:30) should go with form.

Saturday – Football Drama

Kerry opens its football weekend with Kerins O’Rahillys vs Gneeveguilla, followed by Glenbeigh-Glencar vs Beaufort and evening ties for John Mitchels and Fossa — all with home advantage.
In Meath, Wolfe Tones vs Donaghmore/Ashbourne and Na Fianna vs Simonstown are both likely to be closely fought, though Skryne and St Colmcilles are well-backed in their games.
Donegal sees Kilcar (1/6) heavily favoured against Downings, but Glenfin vs St Michael’s is more of a coin toss.
In Derry, Glen (1/12) should coast past Banagher, with Newbridge and Bellaghy also well-backed.
Armagh has Mullaghbawn, Clann Éireann and Armagh Harps all strong favourites in their evening throw-ins.
In Clare, St Breckans vs St Joseph’s Milltown is near even money, while Doonbeg and Lissycasey are expected to shade their ties.
Antrim features Aldergrove, Creggan and Cargin all odds-on for wins.
Galway has Moycullen (1/10) as one of the weekend’s bankers, while Tuam Stars vs Dunmore McHales could go either way.

Sunday – Closing Statements

Sunday’s hurling highlight is in Cork where Newtownshandrum face Charleville (16:00) and Glen Rovers meet Father O’Neill’s (19:00). In Kilkenny, Glenmore vs Bennettsbridge (13:30) should be a tight affair.
Football takes centre stage in Kerry, Meath, Galway, Clare, Antrim, Armagh, Derry, and Donegal with several sides looking to secure knockout places — the likes of Dingle, Ratoath, Salthill-Knocknacarra and Glen will be expected to deliver.

Verdict

On paper, Glen, Moycullen, Ballyhale Shamrocks, Kilcar, Cargin and Clann Éireann look the safest weekend bets. But the history of these championships shows that counties like Clare, Kerry, and Kilkenny thrive on underdog shocks — and with local bragging rights on the line, the odds may yet be turned upside down.
