Five-star Limerick made it four wins from four in Division 4 of the Allianz Football League.

Wexford showed all their class as they eased to a comfortable 14-point victory over a poor London outfit in this Division 4 game at Chadwicks Wexford Park.

A Coláiste Eoin goal from centre forward Dara Puirséil as the game entered injury time gave the all-Irish Dublin college a dramatic but fully merited victory over holders St Kieran’s, Kilkenny, in a hard-fought Corn Uí Dhúill (Leinster Colleges Post Primary ‘A’) final at Netwatch Cullen Park yesterday.

It was a bitter pill to swallow for the Leesiders, who have been UL’s victims on each occasion.

Tipperary battled their way past a strong and stubborn Westmeath effort to claim a vital win in Division 1 of the Lidl National Football League in a windswept Bansha.

The Rugby World Cup 2019 may now be firmly in the rear-view mirror, but fans of the sport can look forward to another international tournament in Cork this summer.

A battling 14-man Tipperary were fully deserving of a share of the spoils with Down in their opening game of the Allianz Football League Division 3 at Clonmel Sportsfield.

When a losing manager — unprompted — describes a game as a tale of two halves the story writes itself.

The northside of Cork City has been neglected by its recent political representatives with one Government TD not even bothering to show up for work, said Labour’s general election candidate for Cork North Central.

Once more, Tipperary appear to be the oldest Liam MacCarthy Cup panel around but age clearly didn’t debilitate them last season.

There aren’t many constituencies facing as much of a shake-up as Cork North-Central.

There may be more vivid incarnations of optimism than a ticket tout prowling Gill’s Corner and environs for spare tickets ahead of the All-Ireland club final, but none come immediately to mind.

The giants of club hurling stand a little taller this morning. Defiant as ever following this test of their resolve and devoted to their fallen clubmen.

There may be more vivid incarnations of optimism than a ticket tout prowling Gill’s Corner and environs for spare tickets ahead of the All-Ireland club final, but none come immediately to mind.

With a second successive title, Ballyhale Shamrocks made it a clean sweep of All-Ireland club titles for Kilkenny this weekend despite some heroics from Borris-Ileigh’s Jerry Kelly and Brendan Maher.

Conor Kenny can recall the new manager’s first encounter with Borris-Ileigh.

“It is becoming an elite association and they are just catering for inter-county, while and clubs, third-level, and second-level are all suffering.”

As he emerged from a home dressing room, reinforced by the glow of the more joyous half of a Limerick double on Saturday evening, Billy Lee ducked away from the awaiting reporters for just a moment.

A goal five minutes into injury time by Tipperary and Borris-Ileigh teenage star James ('JD') Devaney gave Our Lady’s Templemore the narrowest of victories over Thurles CBS in the Tipperary Derby in the Dr Harty Cup at The Ragg.

What a score!

Borris-Ileigh manager Johnny Kelly hailed the character of his young team as they overcame their nerves to see off St Thomas’ in style.

Every semi-final ever played has a double life.

It was a score that capped another magnificent display by Maher as he and his teammates qualified for the All-Ireland club final in a fortnight’s time.

Maher scored a stunning late point with a broken hurley as Borris-Ileigh finished stronger.

In a game that saw the sides level five times, Limerick came out on top with three of the last four points against a Clare side that had to wait until the second half for their first score from play.

What is the grist for the mill among the 10 Liam MacCarthy Cup teams in 2020? From Tipperary looking to roll back the years to the 1960s to Cork hoping to avoid the county’s joint-longest stretch without the Liam MacCarthy Cup, there is plenty to go around, writes John Fogarty.

Leading Irish eventers Padraig McCarthy and Cathal Daniels are among the riders heading to Switzerland for this week’s CHI Geneva five-star fixture.

Latest: Senator Colm Burke was eliminated in the ninth count of the Cork North-Central by-election.

The performance of Labour's John Maher has marked him out as a contender for 2020, according to Labour TD Sean Sherlock.

The county councillor has 28.19% of the vote after the tally, giving him a seven-point lead over Fine Gael's Colm Burke.

Borris-Ileigh and Tipperary hurler Dan McCormack has hailed the incredible bond that has seen the club claim a surprise county and provincial double.

Fionnuala McCormack will carry the medal hopes for the Irish at the European Cross Country on Sunday, December 8, the 35-year-old announced on an Irish team of 40 for the event in Lisbon.

Everywhere you turned after yesterday’s Munster final, Borris-Ileigh players were articulating their admiration for manager Johnny Kelly.

A drenched Páirc Uí Rinn was the scene for a turn up for the books as a Brendan Maher-inspired Borris-Ileigh once again defied the odds to stun a vaunted Ballygunner side.

In years to come, when the memory of this game sparks a grimace on the outskirts of Waterford city and warm smiles in northern Tipperary, one name will dominate discussion of this Munster club final.

The game will mark the first for a Tipperary club in a senior Munster hurling final in seven years, facing a Ballygunner side in their third in a row, their fourth in five seasons.

Player representatives from the four senior clubs in provincial final action this weekend have expressed their discontent with the fixtures calendar.

Honours to Borris-Illeigh in this Tipperary SHC final - the 7,250 in attendance saw them defeat Kiladangan in a hard-fought encounter.

They were prompted by several hours of gridlock which was caused by a minor two-car collision in the Jack Lynch Tunnel on Thursday. Nobody was injured in the incident but it caused lengthy tailbacks.

Tipperary hurling boss Liam Sheedy has paid tribute to two-time All-Ireland winning defender James Barry, who announced his retirement yesterday.
