The Connacht final was a thriller – an intense local rivalry played out in front of a big crowd, with a win for Galway that was celebrated lustily. We’ll have many of the same ingredients for the Ulster final this weekend… but how likely is it that we get a thriller?

Michael Murphy isn’t too hopeful, and neither is Paul Flynn. We talk about last weekend’s excitement, next weekend’s potential stalemate, and Kerry/Clare and Dublin/Louth too.

We also hail Borussia Dortmund’s achievement in reaching the Champions League final, and we ponder who they’d rather face there – the devil you know, or the (probably better, dressed in white) devil you don’t.
