AIB ALL-IRELAND CLUB SHC SEMI-FINAL:

Portumna 3-12 Loughrea 0-14

The Cork minor football management have rung the changes for tonight’s Electric Ireland Munster MFC first round replay with Kerry in Austin Stack Park in Tralee.

ST THOMAS created a huge shock when they sent three time All-Ireland club champions Portumna crashing out of the Galway SHC after a dramatic weekend of quarter-final action.

A CROWD of close on 10,000 witnessed an enthralling conclusion to this tense Galway SHC semi-final as Portumna looked to have let a winning hand slip before salvaging a draw in the seventh minute of stoppage time.

REIGNING champions Portumna sealed a place in the quarter-finals of the Galway senior hurling championship when they defeated Kinvara by 2-22 to 1-10 in a repeat of the 2007 county final.

Galway 3-17 Cork 2-13

THE Derry County Board has branded comments made by Joe Brolly about an U21 footballer as “harmful and unmerited”.

AN appeal by Kerry star Paul Galvin against an eight-week ban will be heard tonight by the GAA’s Central Competitions Control Committee at Croke Park.

PORTUMNA are now just 60 minutes from completing an historic three-peat of All-Ireland club titles after this win in the capital yesterday afternoon.

Galway and Wicklow claimed Walsh Cup and Kehoe Shield honours respectively, while Carlow booked a place in the Walsh Shield decider following this afternoon's action in Leinster.

GALWAY hurling boss John McIntyre has wielded the axe and drafted nine players into his squad for next season.

THE fallout from their controversial meeting in the decider three years ago has finally been consigned to history after Portumna and Loughrea played out a game in Pearse Stadium yesterday that was relatively incident-free – apart from the issuing of one red card.

Galway 1-15 Tipperary 1-17

GALWAY manager John McIntyre is forced to make two changes for Sunday’s crucial Allianz NHL clash against his native Tipperary at Pearse Stadium. Midfielder David Tierney is getting married on Saturday, while corner-forward Ger Farragher is ruled out with an ankle injury.

I HAVE a very good friend who likes a punt. This year he did the following treble; Kauto Star to win the Cheltenham Gold Cup – we know what happened there; Portumna to win the All-Ireland club hurling title today and Ireland to win the Grand Slam on Saturday.

Portumna 2-8 Newtownshandrum 1-6

THE day was Arctic — rhymes with Patrick — but Portumna and Salthill-Knocknacarra won’t mind.

Portumna 2-08 Newtownshandrum 1-06

THE thermometer is hitting minus three on a midweek evening in Ballinamere, just outside Tullamore.

‘THE SHADOW’: it’s a great nickname for a corner-back, isn’t it? Even better were the circumstances in which it was earned by Portumna’s Michael Gill.

EVEN though he’s from neither of the participating clubs, one man with as much interest as anyone in tomorrow’s novel Galway SHC final between Portumna and Loughrea is Conor Hayes.

A strong opening half performance by the home side, at the end of which they
