OFFALY have been hit with a catalogue of injuries prior to tomorrow’s All-Ireland SHC qualifier with Cork at Tullamore.

TIPPERARY have re-arranged their attack for Sunday’s Allianz National Hurling League final against All-Ireland champions in Thurles, making no fewer than four changes from the last round game against Limerick a fortnight ago.

The Willie Loughman Memorial Forest Rally, the second round of the Petro Systems National Forest Championship was won by Trevor Harding/Andrew Purcell (Subaru WRC).

A record-equalling fifth Irish Tarmac Championship title is one of Eugene Donnelly's goals this season.

Former national rally champion, Ray Breen, co-driven by his son, Craig, in their Ford Focus WRC, won the Carrick-on-Suir based Willie Loughman forest rally, the second round of the Hankook Tyres National Forest Championship.

Even though they led from the first of the eight stages, Waterford’s, Andrew Purcell (Subaru WRC) and his co-driver, Mick Courtney had to fend off a determined challenge from reigning national forest champions, Stephen Moore/Tony McHugh (Ford Focus WERC) to win the Sean Conlon Memorial Tipperary Forest Rally.
