Cork will oppose the All-Ireland SFC ‘Super 8’ proposal at this weekend’s GAA Annual Congress in Croke Park, but will back the Club Players’ Association’s request for official recognition.

Waterford 5-25 Antrim 1-8: Concrete solutions may have been thin on the ground, but at least there was general agreement Saturday’s futile exercise in Thurles did no-one any favours. 

Ulster and All-Ireland U21 FC champions Tyrone had a successful first defence of their titles last night, beating Cavan 2-10 to 0-10 at Kingspan Breffni Park.

Tyrone 1-13, Fermanagh 0-9. Two pivotal second-half moments went a long way towards deciding the outcome of yesterday’s Dr McKenna Cup semi-final at Clones.

County champions Tempo crashed out of the Fermanagh SFC last night after a narrow 1-13 to 3-6 quarter-final defeat by Ederney in Irvinestown.
