Back-to-back All-Ireland champions Dublin will face old foes Westmeath next weekend after Tom Cribbin's side edged out Offaly at the second attempt in the Leinster quarter-finals.

BRUFF produced a magical 80 minutes and wrote a new chapter in the storied history of the ODM Munster Senior Cup at Thomond Park yesterday, denying tournament specialists Garryowen their 39th triumph with a display that combined brilliance and dogged determination.

IT’S a pity those who bemoan the demise of the club game weren’t in Dubarry Park on Saturday afternoon.

LEINSTER bid for the U-20 Interprovincial title at Dubarry Park, Athlone tomorrow (4pm) in a must-win game against an Ulster side who have won all three games so far.

The Leinster U-20s will now face the winners of Ulster / Munster in the Interprovincial Series final in Athlone next Saturday after defeating Connacht 30-10 in the Sportsground today.
