Dr Crokes, even without Colm Cooper, Fionn Fitzgerald, Chris Brady and Ambrose O’Donovan, proved too strong for intermediate champions Currow in yesterday’s East Kerry SFC semi-final.

An ugly row is developing in Limerick after divisional club Emmets started with just 13 players in their championship game against Adare on Sunday.

Limerick club hurling side Emmets could only muster up 13 players for the start of yesterday’s Limerick SHC game against Adare.

Kilmallock and divisional side Emmets are the only sides left with 100% records after round two of the Limerick SHC.

TADHG KENNELLY is set for a sensational Gaelic football comeback with his club Listowel Emmets on Sunday.

AHANE, the 19-times champions, will play Na Piarsaigh in the October 2 Limerick SHC final after last night’s 3-13 to 1-12 semi-final replay win over Emmets at the Gaelic Grounds.

EMMETS and Ahane will meet on Sunday in the Gaelic Grounds at 7.45pm after their Limerick SHC semi-final ended level yesterday, with neither side grabbing the initiative in a scoreless final 10 minutes.

A QUARTER of an all-weather pitch was among one of the more bizarre items recently stolen from a GAA club as Croke Park have warned members to be vigilant after a rise in break-ins and robberies in the organisation’s units.

A FOUR goal blast from John Fitzgibbon saw Adare book their place in the Limerick SHC quarter-finals and lay down a marker to all contenders in the remaining eight.

CHAMPIONS Kilmallock have one foot in the quarter-finals of the Limerick senior hurling championship after defeating Garryspillane in a repeat of the 2005 final.

2007 All-Star hurler Andrew O'Shaughnessy has played his last game for the Limerick senior team, it has been confirmed.

TADHG KENNELLY is expected to recover from knee surgery in time to line out for the Sydney Swans in their AFL season opener on March 27th.

ONLY those who are close to the scene in the town can appreciate just how much pressure was on Kilmallock to win Sunday’s Limerick SHC final.

“IT’S not enjoyment, it’s relief!”

There was county football final action in Donegal, Derry, Fermanagh, Westmeath, Wexford, Wicklow and London today, while Kilmallock claimed the lone Senior Hurling championship title on offer.

ANDREW O’SHAUGHNESSY isn’t too keen on dwelling on the latter end of 2009. And who could blame him. Twelve months ago he was one of the 12 Limerick hurlers sensationally dropped from the county panel with manager Justin McCarthy citing commitment and discipline issues as the chief reasons behind the axing.

CHAMPIONS Adare got off to a winning start in their bid for a four in-a-row in the Limerick senior hurling championship.

The preparations of London senior hurling manager Brendan Bolger ahead of his side's Ulster championship opener against Antrim on Sunday week have been hit by the news that seven players have transferred out of the county.

FRANCE weren’t the only side who came to Ireland and ignored the sporting script on Sunday. In Limerick, London outfit Robert Emmets shocked Clare champions Clooney Quinn in the All-Ireland Club IHC semi-final and booked a March date with Galway’s Killimordaly in Croke Park.

Progressive Down outfit Castlewellan are on course to retain their AIB GAA Club of the Year title having been once again voted the cream of the Mourne County.
