'If it went wrong, I was in a lot of trouble' - Carla Rowe reflects on goal that helped Dublin seal All-Ireland final spot
Five times a TG4 All-Ireland SFC medallist, and a multiple All-Star, but still picking up new tricks. Carla Rowe wears a broad grin as she looks back on her audacious semi-final goal in the extra-time win over Galway, the cheekiest of back-heels delivered with a surgeon's precision. "It was probably the next day that it sunk in," said Rowe of the impact of her soccer-style goal which led one social media user to rename her Rowenaldo. "One of the girls sent me a screenshot of Twitter and I was trending number one in Ireland ahead of Rashford and Coldplay! "That kind of puts a limelight on it. So obviously yeah, there was a bit about it afterwards. But these things don't happen too often in sport and I always think you have to just take them in and enjoy them." Rowe's extra-time goal nudged Dublin five points clear though they only won by three in the end so it was a decisive score. She smiled again when considering what the upshot might have been if she'd wasted the opportunity with such an extrovert move. "There was that moment when I was running out afterwards and I was thinking, 'Oh my God, why did I just do that?" she said. "If it went wrong, I was in a lot of trouble. But look, I knew the goal was open. I knew if I connected with it well, and concentrated on that one move and gave it 100 percent, that it should go right." Rowe, who turned 30 earlier this year, has earned the right to take the odd pot shot. Dublin have won six All-Ireland titles and she has been involved in five of them, debuting in 2014. All of those previous wins that she experienced were under Mick Bohan's management and he was replaced over winter by joint managers Paul Casey and Derek Murray. Bohan was in Tullamore for the semi-final, caught on TV looking anxious in the main stand. "When I watched the game back, you could see how he couldn't stop pacing up and down," smiled Rowe. "Look, we all understand that feeling. I don't think I'd be able to stand there and watch it either, so I understand it." Attacker Rowe, who has registered 2-8 in this year's championship, is still in regular contact with her former manager. "Yeah, absolutely, I have some lovely long voice notes from Mick!" she said. "But that's what you want. He gives me little pieces of information here and there, or whether it's just 'keep the head up' and these things, here and there. Mick wears Dublin on his chest, so he'll never be gone and I'll always be open to his advice, my ears and phone will always be open to him." Bohan could yet be convinced to jump across to the men's vacancy following Dessie Farrell's exit. "In terms of ability, absolutely he could," said Rowe. "Will he? I don't know. That's up to Mick and look, whatever he does, we'd support him. We wouldn't be chatting to him about that kind of thing. But he's a phenomenal manager. We know that. We've seen the success he's brought us, so he could do." Bohan previously had a stint with the Dublin men's team as a skills coach before working with the Clare footballers. Then he took on the Dublin ladies and guided them to unprecedented successes. The 2021 final defeat to Meath was the one that got away. "Years have passed and Meath are a completely different team, as are we," said Rowe. "Even compared to our games this year, we've played them three times this year I think, we know they're going to be a completely different team on the day again."

Would you like to work on the Connemara coast where Patrick Pearse spent his summers?
How would you like to work on the rugged Connemara coast where 1916 Easter Rising leader Patrick Pearse spent his summers? Well, the Office of Public Works (OPW) is extending that opportunity to suitably qualified catering professionals, as it has put out a call for applications to run the cafe at Ionad Cultúrtha an Phiarsaigh until the end of the year, with the chance to extend the contract for another two years. The government agency's request for tender invites suppliers to provide catering services, under a catering services concession, for tea rooms or a cafe. Pearse built his cottage at Ros Muc as a retreat and spent his summers there from 1903 to 1915. It is said he drew inspiration from the surrounding landscape for his poems and short stories, and operated a summer school there for his students from St Edna's, the Irish-language school Pearse founded in Dublin in 1908.

Photograph: The whitewashed cottage has been maintained as Pearse left it in 1915, sparsely furnished with mahogany pieces, with a quintessential kitchen hearth. A short walk from the cottage is the contemporary visitor centre – home to the cafe – where the exhibition explores what drew Pearse to Connemara: from its unique landscape to its local culture and use of the Irish language.

Photograph: Ionad Cultúrtha an Phiarsaigh is located an hour from Galway city and is on the Wild Atlantic Way. The site has increased its visitor numbers in recent years, welcoming 19,952 visitors in 2024, up from 17,399 in 2023, according to the OPW. Interested parties can find information on how to apply on the OPW website , but they will have to act fast as the closing date for applications is 12pm on Thursday, July 31st. 'We are looking to get someone in situ as soon as possible after the closing date as the cafe is currently closed. This is a busy time for the centre, with bus and cycling tours along with passing tourists and local regulars,' a spokeswoman for the OPW said.

Bougie picnic: Up your al fresco game with quality bites and minimal fuss
Planning a picnic? Why settle for limp sandwiches and basic bites? Elevate your al fresco game with these brilliant and, yes, a little bougie, treats that are guaranteed to impress this summer. Snack plates Heart-shaped crackers, from Isle of Crackers Forget balancing a charcuterie board on your blanket; this summer, it's all about snack plates, a more curated way to serve picky bites. Cheese is key: burrata, smoky Goudas, creamy blues. Pair them with fresh seasonal fruits. Figs, grapes, plums or ripe peaches with that oozy burrata. Perelló olives, available from Toonsbridge burrata Add posh, plump olives, fancy nuts like marcona almonds, crusty bread or gourmet crackers. Arrange on a big, cool plate in sections or clusters, mixing savoury and sweet. Drizzle with local honey or single-estate olive oil. Focus on texture and colour. Use Instagram for inspiration. It's meant to look effortless and chic, even if it has almost bankrupted you. Toons Bridge Dairy Burrata Isle of Crackers Heart-shaped crackers Perelló olives Bagels Galway Bay Bakery bagels Bagels are back and perfect for picnics. Think proper chewy NYC-style bagels from local bakeries such as Galway Bay Bakery (which delivers nationwide) or Dublin's Fat Baby Bakes. For your schmear (cream cheese), skip the usual Philadelphia and opt for something Irish instead. Foodies in the know will swap the smoked salmon for smoked rainbow trout – unless you can get hold of wild Irish salmon, that is. Galway Bay Bakery Bagels Sally Barnes Wild Irish Salmon Killowen Cream Cheese Crisps Blanco Niño, corn tortilla chips from Co Tipperary No matter how fancy you plan it, no picnic will ever be complete without crisps. A sandy feed of Tayto on the beach is what most of us were reared on, and a classic cheese and onion is, of course, still a perfectly appropriate picnic crisp, but these days, there are so many other exciting options to try. You'll never go wrong with O'Donnell's Sweet Chilli flavour, but a new favourite for me this year is their crinkly crisps, the Furrows Classic Prawn Cocktail. Keogh's Chorizo & Cherry Tomato goes very well with a few slices of cheese. Chips and dips are a great idea. I love to pair Blanco Niño, corn tortilla chips made in Tipperary, with a delicious ranch dip. Generally, I've little time for a plain salted crisp, but when I'm feeling a bit extra, and want to serve up some sour cream and caviar with crisps, then the plainer the better. Blanco Niño Creamy Jalapeño Dunnes Stores Simply Better Handmade Buttermilk Ranch Dip Keogh's Irish Atlantic Sea Salt Goatsbridge Trout Caviar Spritz Mixing a cocktail with Valentia Island Vermouth. Photograph: Joleen Cronin For outdoor summery drinks, spritz is still where it's at, but skip the sticky Aperol and instead seek out the slick canned selection from Dublin Cocktail Lab. For 'swicy' (sweet and spicy) fans, try the Chilli Rita or Habanero & Lemongrass Spritz, with a no-alcohol version too. Purple Haze offers coconut and cardamom gin spritz with piña colada vibes. They also stock White Box cocktails – classics in cute cans. Whiskey Hi-Ball, from Dublin Cocktail Lab If you want to mix your own drinks, look out for Irish-made Valentia Island Vermouth. Poured over ice and topped off with Poacher's thyme tonic water and a slice of orange, this makes for an excellent, effervescent, relatively low-alcohol sip that's perfect for picnicking.
