IT’S another tough ask for Kerry senior hurling champions Kilmoyley this year, as once again they face the Cork champions in the first round of the Munster intermediate club championship (like several counties in other provinces, the Kerry senior champions are allowed compete at the lower grade).

THERE was a time when county championship success meant rounds. Not of the pitch, but of pints and of pubs, with chests out, heads held high, and the all-important cup in tow.

ALL-IRELAND club champions Birr bid for their fifth consecutive Offaly SHC title against first-time finalists Ballyskenach at St Brendan’s Park tomorrow.
