Corkman Aisake Ó hAilpín is one of six players who have been released by AFL club Carlton Blues.

Former Young Hurler of the Year Setanta O’hAilpin has played in back-to-back AFL Premiership matches for Carlton for the first time.

THE Waterford selectors have sprung a major surprise by handing Portlaw’s Jack Hartley his debut at midfield for Sunday’s vital Division 1B National Hurling League game against Offaly in Birr.

Two goals from second-half substitute Setanta O’hAilpin steered Cork to victory over Tipperary in the Allianz NHL tie at Thurles in an end-to-end game played in perfect conditions.

Cork spokesman Pat Horgan has confirmed the injury sustained by half-back Sean Og O'hAilpin is not too serious.
