Nemo Rangers will take on reigning champions Corofin in the All-Ireland club football semi-final after comfortably seeing off Clonmel in today’s Munster decider.

Clonmel Commercials’ bid for a second Munster title is very much on track after a late, late show advanced them to another provincial day out against Nemo Rangers for a repeat of the 2015 decider that the Premier County kingpins won with virtually the last kick of the ball.

A second-quarter scoring surge was decisive, as St Michael’s took the inter-divisional JBFC title, at Páirc Uí Rinn, on Saturday evening.

Losing an All-Ireland semi-final is usually enough of a penance in itself but to follow that up with defeat in a national decider just two days later is a whole other level of purgatory. So, spare a thought today for the students at Midleton CBS.

It ended with bodies being flung, arms spread wide, legs hacking chaotically, and the general confusion of a final ’45 dropped upon close to 28 players.

IT WAS a pillar-to-post victory for Clonduff as they grabbed their first AIB All-Ireland Intermediate Club Camogie title but they were pushed all the way by a youthful Gailltír side.

Declan Bonner, the Donegal manager, commended the resolve shown by his young side as they came from four points down late on to overcame Meath in a frost-bitten Ballybofey on Saturday night.

Carrigaline 0-12 St Michael’s 0-11: At times, it must have seemed that senior football would remain an elusive aspiration for Carrigaline.

Carrigaline will play senior football for the first time in 2016 after they edged St Michael’s in the Cork Premier IFC final in Páirc Uí Rinn on Sunday.

Carrigaline 2-12 Éire Óg 0-16: A goal by former inter-county star Nicholas Murphy a minute into injury-time gave Carrigaline the unlikeliest of victories over Éire Óg in this PIFC semi-final replay at Brinny on Saturday.
