Tommy Walsh, an All-Ireland SHC winner with Kilkenny last month, has been included in the Ireland panel for the upcoming Hurling/Shinty International Series against Scotland.

A man-of-the-match display by Eoghan Murphy helped Erin’s Own to a comfortable eight-point victory over fellow East Cork side Killeagh in a lacklustre county SHC fourth round tie at Midleton on Saturday night.

Huge relief for Newtownshandrum at Kilworth on Saturday, heartache though for Killeagh, their Trojan effort to cause a huge Cork SHC upset thwarted in extra-time by two cracking Cathal Naughton goals, leaving them with a tricky backdoor clash with Cloyne.

Thirteen years ago he was the sub goalkeeper when Cork won the All-Ireland SHC title during Jimmy Barry-Murphy’s first stint in charge of the Leesiders.

He bid farewell to the inter-county game in November 2000, three months after his Cork team had been defeated in the All-Ireland semi-final by Offaly.

ANOTHER stirring Newtownshandrum victory at balmy Fermoy on Saturday, simply business a usual, as the Avondhu kingpins eased past Killeagh to book a place in the next round of the Cork SHC.

AFTER crashing to a 16-point defeat in the opening round, Killeagh’s season has undergone a remarkable transformation after they fashioned an impressive success over Bishopstown in the second round of the Cork SHC in Caherlag last night.

FOR their first Christy Ring Cup final, the hurlers of Kerry will play favourites Westmeath and if they’re lucky, they’ll have the support of a couple of thousand.
