Gort are the county senior hurling champions for the first time in 28 years after a magnificent victory over All-Ireland champions Clarinbridge on Sunday afternoon in Pearse Stadium.

SINCE RETURNING to stand-up comedy the great Phill Jupitus has made the Róisín Dubh something of a second home for himself.

There was a tremendous athmosphere around Tuam Stadium last Sunday afternoon before throw-in for the senior game. The healthy queues of people at the turnstiles were all in great form and full of good humoured banter and there was great colour to be seen all around the ground.

There is a gush of expectation and excitement in Galway football circles this week in anticipation of a first county final between Tuam Stars and Corofin for 16 years.

Corofin have been the most consistent club side at senior level in Galway football for the past 20 years. They have won the Frank Fox Cup on 10 occasions since 1991 and they will be hoping to continue that rich winning vein when they play Salthill, Mountbellew/Moylough or Tuam Stars in the 2011 final. Despite the backlog of games, the final is still pencilled in for October 23.

St Lachtain’s v Rower-Inistioge

Many GAA people in the county were not pleased with Mountbellew/Moylough’s decision to engage in a lengthy appeal process after their defeat to Micheal Breathnach’s. They had been defeated twice, and the feeling was that they could have accepted their lot and moved on.

They won easily on a score-line of 3-14 to 1-10 against Dublin, and fully deserved the large margin of their victory.

The Galway minor hurlers did themselves, their families, their management team, and their clubs proud last Sunday at Croke Park when they produced a tremendous performance to power past a highly-rated Dublin side by1-21 to 1-12.
