HEN Dinny Allen looks back to Nemo Rangers' first ever county final, his recall is through a fog, not of the time passed but of torched grass. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

IN his peak-capped Dublin pomp, the sense that Jim Gavin did not so much have a game-plan as a scriptwriter was seductive. He managed the greatest and most dominant team that football has ever witnessed, yet he did so by offering up an illusion of vulnerability that kept the public enthralled, primarily at Mayo and Kerry's expense in a series of finals and semi-finals that always came balanced on a high wire at the death. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

SOME loopholes demand to be closed. The one in World Rugby's regulations allowing players to represent another Test country for whom they were eligible, once they had completed a three-year stand-down period, should have been stitched shut after the Jean Kleyn farrago at the last World Cup.

ALLIANZ FL DIV 1 Kerry v Donegal Fitzgerald Stadium, 2.30 Both off to a winning start last weekend, but in contrasting fashions. Donegal were in control for vast swathes of their game against Dublin, while going with an established team including Daire Ó Baoill, Oisín Gallen, Ciaran Thompson and Brendan McCole, suggesting that Jim McGuinness wants to bank enough points early to prepare early for his team's Ulster final defence. Kerry, with a more experimental side, got caught up in a gloriously giddy game of ball against Derry and burgled a win with a glut of great goals and an inspired performance from Diarmuid O'Connor. That win will buy Jack O'Connor a bit more space to put development ahead of results, and Donegal's more pressing need will be decisive. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
