AIB All-Ireland Club IHC final

The Fermanagh hurlers are celebrating for the second weekend in a row. Seven days after winning the Lory Meagher Cup, they earned the right to step up to the higher grade with a four points win over Louth in a Nicky Rackard Cup promotion/relegation play-off at Kingspan Breffni Park.

CARLOW’S U21 footballers will have learned precious little from this 39-point thrashing of neighbours Kilkenny in this championship quarter-final mis-match at the IT grounds in Carlow last night.

CLARE secured their first brace of league points when they crushed Kilkenny in Saturday’s Allianz NFL Division Four tie at Miltown Malbay.
