Sarsfields 0-16 Erins Own 1-13: What should have been the championship’s marquee fixture, one to give Cork hurling an esteem boost, instead turned out to be a mediocre affair with holders Sarsfields just about hanging onto their title – at least for another six days.

Glen Rovers have reached a second consecutive Cork SHC final but they will have to wait another week to find their opponents in the October 11th decider, with Erin’s Own and Sarsfields drawing in the second semi.

The returning Brian Murphy is one of three changes to the Cork side for Sunday’s Munster SHC semi-final with Waterford in Thurles.

Aidan Ryan is a surprise inclusion as Cork make three changes for Sunday’s Allianz HL Division 1 final against Waterford in Semple Stadium (3.30pm).

The selection of Jamie O’Sullivan for the injured Brian O’Driscoll is the only change in the Cork senior football side for Sunday’s Allianz Football League Division 1 final against Dublin in Croke Park (4pm).

 

More questions than answers did this Cork performance pose, nonetheless, Jimmy Barry-Murphy’s charges remain alive in the hunt for league silverware.

Allianz Football League leaders Cork have included all three O’Driscoll brothers for Sunday’s table-topping clash with Mayo.

Cork have made four changes to their side for Sunday’s final Allianz HL Division 1A game against Tipperary at Páirc Uí Rinn.

Paul Galvin’s return to action for Kerry will have to wait for at least another week, as he wasn’t included in the squad to face Cork in Division 1 of the Allianz Football League at Páirc Uí Rinn on Sunday (2pm).

Cork 1-26 UCC 2-12: The heavy rain and wind didn’t make for a great spectacle, but there were some bright spots for Cork manager Jimmy Barry-Murphy as his side retained the Canon O’Brien Cup by beating UCC at the Mardyke last night.

While the rigours of the Dublin senior hurling manager’s job have yet to fully kick in for Ger Cunningham, he remains busy in his other sideline role, that of guiding the hurlers of UCC.
