Devine will fancy that challenge having already moved seamlessly up the grades to lead the line for London. Boss Neil Rogers said: "Davy's brilliant, he's had an unbelievable season for us. I think today was his best performance of all. He was on the frees and I think he only missed one, he was up 100% other than that. He stuck his goal away well too and was absolutely brilliant for us. "He would have played with Westmeath all the way up along, underage to senior. And he played a bit of football as well. He was with Warwickshire then last year before moving to London. It was a big step up but no better man for it." Advertisement Most read in GAA Hurling Derry beat London in the round robin stage but trailed London virtually throughout this time.

David Mangan fires New York to historic Lory Meagher Cup glory after win over Cavan
New York used goals as their battering ram to a historic first Lory Meagher Cup title success at Croke Park. Goals from Man of the Match David Mangan, who finished with 1-7, Dara Walsh, AJ Willis and Tomas O'Connor propelled the Exiles to the landmark win. 2 New York captain Johnny Glynn and James Breen lift the Lory Meagher Cup 2 The New York team celebrate after the historic win at GAA HQ New York only returned to hurling's fifth tier last weekend, beating Monaghan at the semi-final stage, having not previously played in a Championship since 2006. Former Galway star Jonathan Glynn struck 0-2, the same as he did against Monaghan, and lifted the cup as captain, roaring 'New York abu' from the steps of the Hogan Stand. The goals were the difference on the day and left Cavan with a mountain to climb after falling 11 points down early in the second-half. The Breffni took consolation from a strong finish with two final quarter goals themselves to push New York all the way. READ MORE ON GAA Richie Hartnett's Exiles led by 3-11 to 0-13 at half-time having opened up with some terrific hurling at times. Glynn was the big draw and while he wore number 10, the big attacker started at full-forward, pinching a 14th minute point. But it was a huge team performance overall with Adam Loughlin Stones and Galway native Mangan combining time after time. They struck eight first-half points between them while O'Connor, Willis and Walsh swooped for the goals. Most read in GAA Hurling With 20 minutes to go, New York led 4-14 to 0-15 and weren't flattered.

What is France's 'Black code' and why hasn't it been repealed?
France's code noir, or Black code, was a set of articles drafted during the 17 th century by the powerful first minister of state Jean-Baptiste Colbert and completed by his son, Jean-Baptiste Antoine Colbert. Commissioned by King Louis XIV, its purpose was to regulate the lives of enslaved people and their masters in the French Caribbean colonies. For example, several paragraphs detail punishments for escape attempts as well as the obligation for slaves to adopt Catholicism. Slavery was abolished during the French Revolution in 1794, then reinstated by Napoleon in 1802, and finally abolished again in 1848. However, the Black code itself was never formally repealed. French Prime Minister François Bayrou has promised its repeal, in what would be a symbolic act of remembrance. Le Monde explains how this legislation regulated human trafficking during the French colonial era.

Tipperary GAA star ‘had to do live apology on RTE' the day after cursing during All-Ireland interview
JOHN O'Dwyer had to apologise on-air with RTE the day after he famously cursed moments after winning the 2016 All-Ireland final. Advertisement 2 The Premier beat Kilkenny on the day to secure Liam MacCarthy 2 The 33-year-old was harangued into giving an on-air apology the next day while the team did the traditional visit to Crumlin Children's Hospital Credit: Beyond the 65' podcast/talkSport Ireland Yet while common sense would view it as a minor mistake that doesn't warrant an apology, he was pestered into giving one the next day. Speaking on talkSPORT Ireland's During a conversation about how characters are few and far between in modern inter-county football or hurling, 'Bubbles' cited his own personal tale of how you can get admonished for showing a bit of personality. He recalled: "I got absolutely scaled for it like in 2016. Advertisement Read More On GAA "After winning the All-Ireland, a microphone and camera are put up into my face 30 seconds after, and I said 'We're the champions of f***ing Ireland'. "I had to do a live apology on RTÉ from Crumlin Hospital the next morning. I thought I would have to go to the President to make an apology! "I swear to god. I remember afterwards, I brushed it off. You go out and celebrate your All-Ireland. "The next morning, county delegates with Marty Morrissey come up and go 'RTÉ are looking for you to do an apology'. I'm just like 'Right, yeah okay, if you just leave me alone, I'll do it'. Advertisement Most read in GAA Hurling Comment "People are saying there is no characters in the GAA and stuff like this. A lad goes off and he says something, you might call it a slip of the tongue or whatever. Leave it be." In the podcast's debut episode last month the Killenaule clubman detailed why he actually 'Like something out of the French Revolution' - RTE GAA pundit Donal Og Cusack slams Dublin star's reckless swipe He remarked: "I never would have gotten nervous for inter-county games, I'd have gotten more nervous for club games. "Because there's probably more pressure on you there. You're expected to run the show there y'know? Advertisement "But county games no. As Conor says, you have your work done by then and so matchday is probably the easiest part. "I'd say going up through minor and under-21 teams before senior that there's always some pressure there. "But the most pressure you feel comes from yourself. The manager or other players don't put any pressure on you at all really. I never would've found any pressure only for club games." The bulk of the episode focused on the extreme training regiments modern players are subjected to in pre-season to prepare themselves for the long season ahead. Advertisement Interestingly, both men noted that there has been a huge increase in how demanding workloads have become over the past decade. The virtual professionalism of inter-county set-ups where every session is classed as a red, orange or green in terms of intensity has trickled down to the club game too. On what exactly goes into one of those most severe red sessions, McDonald stated: "You're looking at running between 7-10km whereas with your orange it'd be 5-7km while a green is handy enough. "That's your Thursday night before Championship job. And in red sessions that's tackling, running, hitting. At no point is it a conversational pace!" Advertisement
