Laois secured the dubious honour of a Leinster football quarter-final tie with Dublin in Kilkenny’s Nowlan Park early next month, but only with a deeply unimpressive and barely deserved win over Division Four opponents on home soil.

Cork 4-10 Kilkenny 1-10: A majestic display by champions Cork sees them back in the Liberty Insurance All-Ireland senior camogie final next month. 

Laois u21s 2-10 Dublin u21s 2-21: When the dust settles on the 2015 season, Dessie Farrell and his Dublin U21 footballers might well look back on this one as the one that crowned them.

They were a subdued force in the first-half and trailed by five at the interval yet Cork IT produced a dynamic second-half display to claim a critical victory over Waterford IT in Group A of the Fitzgibbon Cup at their grounds in Bishopstown last night.

NOTHING spectacular about this St Finbarr’s victory at Páirc Uí Rinn on Saturday, simply a case of taking care of business.
