What a weekend of championship football in New York, London and Ireland. Cork get their win in Munster as do Tipperary. Big win for Laois and Justin McNulty. 5-25 for Westmeath is ruthless shooting in Leinster and Oisin McConville and his Wicklow team pick-up a huge win over Carlow. Next for Wicklow is Dublin! Conor McManus called the Leitrim footballers win over Sligo "The result of the weekend" Barry McNulty continuing to do his thing. 1-6 on Sunday. Then we have the mop-up from Armagh. What a finish. Masters golf and even the BBC's Sarah Mulkerrins joined the fun. Championship is back, still feels early, but sure isn't it just great
