Sarsfields 0-20, Imokilly 0-16

A Cork community is trying to comfort the family of a young woman whose life was tragically cut short when she drowned in West Cork on Tuesday night.

Newtownshandrum 0-29 Sarsfields 0-27 (AET): Newtownshandrum rolled back the years in Fitzgerald Park, Fermoy yesterday, sending favourites and current champions Sarsfields down the route of the losers’ rounds of the Cork SHC after this epic extra-time first round victory.

Ballincollig’s Patrick Kelly and Daniel Kearney of Sarsfields were the big winners at last night’s Reardens Cork GAA club All Star awards.

Sarsfields boss Pat Ryan reassembled his charges on the Thursday evening after their Cork county final win. Celebrations were cut short as a statement of intent.

The third annual Reardens Club All Star awards take place next Monday at 7.30pm, with 45 hurlers and 45 footballers in contention to be recognised for their excellence in the senior championships this season.

Sarsfields 2-18 Glen Rovers 0-8

Last week, as this final drew near, questions exercised the minds of both sets of supporters. Sarsfields’ fans wondered if they could continue the winning pattern established since 2008 of a championship victory every second year, writes Donal O'Grady.

Considering it is a hurling-only club, it’s interesting that oval balls have an influence at Sarsfields.

Tomorrow’s Semple Stadium semi-final is the tale of two teams in search of redemption.

It’s hard writing about this game. Having watched Thurles Sarsfields up close from my role with Kilmallock, we’ve tried to move on from the defeat.

DE LA SALLE by a point.

SARSFIELDS are county champions for the second time in three seasons because they had a bit more scoring potential up front than Glen Rovers.

Tipperary enjoyed an edge in determination yesterday, sweeping onto breaking ball with relish, and they confined Kilkenny to rare moments of freedom.

MIDLETON sprung a huge surprise in the Evening Echo Cork SHC first round at Carrigtwohill on Saturday when they shunted Sarsfields towards the backdoor route with an excellent success.

ALL week leading into this match, the big question was which – if either – of these teams would be going all out for the win.

IN defiance of the dire weather predictions, a large crowd made their way to Castletownroche on Saturday evening for this senior hurling challenge, anticipating perhaps that with time running out to the championship, they would see a real contest between two sides that would be coming close to full strength.

NOT YOUR common-or-garden NHL clash tomorrow in Ennis, as Cork’s 2008 players return to the fold after the lengthy dispute on Leeside for the league encounter with Clare.

TEN of the Cork team that started in last August’s semi-final defeat to Kilkenny, were named in the starting 15 last night for Cork’s NHL Division One trip to Clare on Sunday.

CORK 2009 hurling captain Ray Ryan has revealed that the current senior panel are unsure where they stand following Gerald McCarthy’s departure as Cork manager.

CELEBRATIONS, celebrations; the 125th anniversary of the foundation of the GAA, a clash of two of hurling’s most ancient and celebrated rivals, new floodlights being switched on in what many see as the true home of hurling, Semple Stadium.

TIPPERARY 2-15 CORK 0-09

ANYONE in the crowd of more than 3,000 in Fermoy yesterday expecting fireworks was sorely disappointed.
