The best thing we shared

On The Record
All forwards benefited from his first touch, skill and unreal vision.
Where we were today
Murray Kinsella was in Limerick to gauge the mood of Munster as they look to end a poor Champions Cup campaign on a positive.
The Fixture List
The quarter-finals of Corn Uí Mhuirí will be played out across Munster tomorrow afternoon (throw-in 13.30 unless stated). In Killarney, St Brendan’s host PS Chorca Dhuibhne. Rochestown College take on Clonakilty CC in Newcestown, Ballincollig’s Coláiste Choilm meet High School Clonmel in Mallow and in Rathkeale, PS SL Rathmore do battle with St Fiannan’s of Ennis (13.45).
After that’s long over, you can settle in to watch some FA Cup third round replay action as Leicester and Spurs present the third part of their January trilogy at 19.45. Exeter City head for Anfield in the hope of heaping misery on Liverpool at 20.00.
Showbiz, Baby!
Steph Curry and his silky smooth Golden State Warriors handed Lebron James and the Cavs a serious beating last night.
‘Loads of milk, please. Gainz.’
