Donal Og Cusack pays tribute to ‘inspirational' Tipperary GAA star for overcoming cancer to play in All-Ireland final
DONAL OG CUSACK paid tribute to Noel McGrath as he lined up for Tipperary in the All-Ireland hurling final ten years on from being diagnosed with cancer. The Loughmore-Castleiney man learned he had testicular cancer in April 2015 and had surgery just four days later.

And on Sunday, he was on the bench as the Premier faced Cork for the first time in an All-Ireland final and Tipp's first since 2019. He is one of three McGrath's on the panel, with John starting at full-forward and Brian joining Noel on the bench. And speaking before the game, ex-Cork goalkeeper Donal Og Cusack paid tribute to Noel and his family for overcoming adversity.

"And everybody within the hurling world would have been given a shock by it. "Ten years later, he is back here and is on of the main people with two brothers playing.

Cork are overwhelming favourites to lift Liam McCarthy for the first time in 20 years. 'Easiest interview I've ever had' jokes RTE GAA host after pundits go back and forth before Meath vs Donegal SunSport columnist, and Tipperary icon, Babs Keating believes Pat Ryan's men will get the job done. But he suggested the Advertisement He wrote: "If I was in Cahill's position I would adopt a new strategy that we haven't seen from this Tipp team in recent years — and that's to lower the blade. "Going back to 1964 when we were facing a Kilkenny team that had won an All-Ireland a year earlier, our full-back line was aging. "When I say aging, John Doyle was at it for 15 years at that stage and he had six All-Irelands. "Mick Maher was there with three and the majority of the team had been on the go for a decade — Theo English, Seán McLaughlin, John McKenna, Donie Nealon and all that gang. Advertisement "The word was the Kilkenny full-forward line were speed merchants and I remember John Doyle saying before the game that we'd have to lower the blade. "It was an old farming expression that you had to go deep down to cut the corn. "And that was his way of expressing how we had to deal with the speed that Kilkenny had to offer. "We lowered the blade in that final and won 5-13 to 2-8. Our backs were ravenous. Advertisement "Cahill needs that from Ronan Maher, Bryan O'Mara and Craig Morgan today.

Mescal 'so lucky' to get All-Ireland tickets as he joins Blackmore on the BBC
Paul Mescal joked how he was 'so lucky' to get free All-Ireland final tickets as he featured on BBC's coverage of Sunday's decider. The British public broadcaster showed Cork v Tipperary live on TV across the UK, with Mescal at Croke Park as part of their coverage. "All-Ireland final day is one of the most special days in the calendar and to be here with dad, we're so lucky to be getting free tickets to an All-Ireland final," he stated. The actor added: "I'm so glad it's being shown across the UK because it is a huge cultural moment every year. It's a massive event for Irish people across the world. It's not just the people living in Ireland, it's for the diaspora and everybody else." The former Kildare minor footballer's father joined him at Croke Park and said: "This is the pinnacle of Irish sport. It is the absolute pinnacle and you have to be here to fully get the atmosphere." Singer-songwriter Tom Grennan, whose father is from Offaly, and recently retired jockey Rachael Blackmore, a Tipperary native, were also part of the BBC's star-stunned line-up. Grennan, attending his first All-Ireland final, commented: "This is amazing. This has been a dream of mine to come to an All-Ireland. "I've got my dad with me. He has worn the Offaly shirt, but to be here and just to see everybody mixing... like if you saw this at a North London derby that wouldn't be the case. You'd have one half and one half where everybody's mixes, a sea of different colours. It's a beautiful thing."

DJ Carey's name rings out over Croke Park – but former hurler is conspicuous by his absence
Carey was man-of-the-match in his side's All-Ireland final win over Offaly in 2000 having given yet another scintillating scoring display, but he has been in the news for all the wrong reasons in recent weeks and months. Carey pleaded guilty on July 3 to ten counts of defrauding a number of people out of money while pretending that he had cancer and needed finances to obtain treatment. There was some debate whether the five-time All-Ireland SHC winner would be in attendance at Croke Park today. The GAA had been silent on the matter despite queries from the Irish Independent during the past week. One businessman who was defrauded out of thousands of euro warned it would be '100pc wrong' to honour the disgraced hurler in Croke Park. Noel Tynan, owned of The Celt bar in Dublin, said: 'He's a criminal… full stop and just because he won five All Irelands and nine All Stars, it doesn't change things. "The bottom line is he purposely set out to defraud people.' Mr Tynan added: 'He came across as such a humble fella but he was setting me up. It was a form of grooming. "The All Star, The All Ireland winner and then to use that and say you had cancer, it's just unforgiveable and there's no excuse for him.' Carey was remanded on bail following his court appearance earliker this month. He is due to be sentenced on October 29. Ultimately 54-year-old Carey was not present at Croke Park today, although there was a short citation read out about him while his team-mates were celebrated in front of a large crowd at GAA HQ. There was some jeering when his name was read out by master of ceremonies, TG4 commentator Mac Dara Mac Donncha. Carey was not the only one absent with All-Ireland-winning manager Brian Cody also missing out due to a pre-planned holiday. Goalkeeper James McGarry, Cody's right-hand man as coach for several of his All-Ireland successes following retirement, was also absent. However captain Willie O'Connor and Irish Independent columnist Eddie Brennan were among the star-studded squad on show.
