A huge weekend of senior hurling activity saw the Tipperary SHC championship reduced to the last eight, and while there were no major upsets, there were some very significant results, not least the victory of Thurles Sarsfields over Drom-Inch.

ALL-IRELAND SHC FINAL REPLAY:

As Cork make the long trip to Ballycastle on Sunday in the search for a handsome win over Antrim to boost their scoring difference, Jimmy Barry-Murphy has made six changes to the side that beat Offaly last weekend.

Feohanagh-Castlemahon (Limerick) 2-10 Drom-Inch (Tipperary) 3-6

Drom-Inch 2-26 Loughmore-Castleiney 1-21 (AET)

Senior stars Conor Lehane and Jamie Coughlan will be key figures in the Cork attack for tomorrow night’s Bord Gáis Energy Munster U21HC quarter-final clash with Tipperary at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

A NINE-point victory for Drom-Inch. And after completely outclassing their opponents it was the least they deserved.

THURLES SARSFIELDS stayed on course for a third successive Tipperary SHC title, seeing off the challenge of Loughmore-Castleiney by 3-17 to 2-16 in a thrilling quarter-final at Semple Stadium on Saturday.

CLARE managers Gerry O’Connor and Donal Moloney have made three changes from the side that crushed Kerry in the opening round in April for tonight’s Munster joust with Tipperary.

GAA chiefs yesterday announced that the country’s lesser lights are set to take centre stage in Croke Park on July 4th, with the fixing of the Christy Ring, Nicky Rackard and Lory Meagher Cup deciders.

THE littler All-Ireland, you could call it. The Cork county junior hurling title is widely regarded as one of the toughest GAA championships to win, and they know all about that around Ladysbridge and Ballymacoda in east Cork.
