Having trawled Wikipedia in recent weeks for Gaelic games figures and facts at all levels, we are slightly saddened to see corrections made almost universally. �is�n McConville no longer dances better than he kicks points in open play while John Mullane doesn't have an antique steam engine, nor does he "tirelessly promote the use of wind power in the south-east region."

However, two men remain above the law although we can't be sure if the following excerpts from Ger Canning's and Marty Morrissey's pages on the internet encyclopedia are actually jokes or not.

Exhibit A: "The irrepressible Canning is considered to be one of the "nest after-dinner speakers in Irish society circles. The chirpy Canning is extremely popular in his native Cork and is adored by his many female fans for his wordsmithery and chivalrous nature.

The exuberant Canning has a passion for hurling, mountainclimbing and world cinema."

Exhibit B: "Marty is a regular on the sidelines at championship Gaelic Games matches and has gained notoriety for his pronunciation of the word 'fabulous' as 'fabbalas'. He is an avid supporter of club teams in his native Clare where he often undertakes fund-raising activities.

He famously auctioned off his underpants for his local club."

If the two lads could let us know, it would be greatly appreciated. Email address is at the bottom.

CITY KIDS MAKE THEIR MARK IN LIMERICK Seems like reports of the demise of hurling in Limerick city may have been wide of the mark.

Lurking in the Mackey Stand while Richie Bennis's men were training the other night, Sideline Cuts was treated to the sight of the boys from the city team receiving their medals following their recent win in the Mackey Cup - a divisional competition for primary schools in the county. Allowed to decide which members of the Limerick panel would oversee the presentation, the lads had chosen Brian Murray and Dave Bulfin.

So yes, there's not a lot wrong with the standard of hurling at primary schools' level in Limerick city, it appears. What becomes of the youngsters when they go on to second-level is quite another story, of course.

LOHANS TAKE A BITE OUT OF BIG APPLE, PERHAPS Headline on Aertel the other day:

"New York photographer sues Lohan." Hmm, we wondered, is it Brian or Frank? Then we called up the page and discovered that the Lohan in question was the actress and drinker Lindsay. Damn.
