It’s all relative
There are some interesting familial ties between Kilkenny’s top hurlers and those of generations gone by:
Galway minor footballers push Dublin all the way
At half time last Sunday few, if any, Galway football supporters would have held out too much hope of a win for Tommy Joyce’s minor team in the All-Ireland semi-final at Croke Park.
Improving Milltown into semi-finals
Milltown followed up their one-point win over Caherlistrane with a comprehensive 1-14 to 0-8 victory over a disappointing An Cheathrú Rua in Pearse Stadium on Sunday to qualify for the last four in the race for the county title.
County football quarter-finals on this Sunday
Following a hectic weekend of football action last Saturday and Sunday, three of the county football quarter-finals are down for decision this Sunday. There is a double header in Pearse Stadium with Carraroe taking on Milltown at 3.45pm and Salthill/Knocknacarra facing Moycullen at 5.30pm. Claregalway, who saw off NUIG last weekend, take on championship favourites Corofin in Tuam at 5.30pm. The outstanding quarter-final between Tuam Stars and either Cortoon Shamrocks or Mountbellew/Moylough and Micheal Breathnachs could not be fixed due to the ongoing shenanigans with Mountbellew/Moylough’s appeal.
Abject Galway suffer heavy defeat
For the sixth year in a row the Galway hurlers have been knocked out of the All-Ireland senior hurling championship before the Galway Races. And last Sunday’s 10-point defeat to Waterford was a real kick in the guts for hurling supporters in the county, particularly those who travelled to Semple Stadium with high hopes.
Minors well beaten by Roscommon
The Galway minor footballers failed in their bid last Sunday to win the county’s first Connacht minor title since 2007.
Galway must step it up when they face the Cats
The Galway senior camogie team will be given a good indication of their current form when they take on Kilkenny in round six of the All-Ireland championship on Saturday in Duggan Park (4pm).
Unbeaten Galway now face Cork
Galway ladies continue their senior camogie championship campaign on Sunday when they host Cork in Pearse Stadium at 5pm.
Four-star Kilkenny get championship off to a winning start
It had the potential of a downfall, but Kilkenny were always in control and they safely steered to a 12-point victory over a gallant Offaly as the All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship got under way.
