Dublin 0-19 Wexford 2-13

WHAT a magnificent match in Tullamore yesterday evening, this 2008 Christy Ring final.

MANAGER Jody Gormley slammed the handful of Antrim players who deserted their Tommy Murphy Cup challenge that ended in an historic success on Saturday.

SEAMUS MCENANEY is looking forward to the day when some of the current Kerry stars move on. And, as he indicated after yesterday’s defeat in Croke Park, there is no guarantee that he will remain on as manager.

IN MORE years than I’d want to admit watching and reporting on Gaelic games, I’ve never witnessed anything like the scenes at the final whistle of Wednesday night’s game in Ennis.

THERE can scarcely have been a more dramatic end to a hurling match that the one which occurred at Cusack Park last night.

TOMORROW night in Thurles Gerald McCarthy and Ger Loughnane stalk the sidelines once again, while Joe Dooley and Davy Fitzgerald will also cross swords.

CIARÁN CAREY, never one to back away from a challenge during his playing days, hopes to get Limerick hurling back on track in tonight’s Munster U21 semi-final in Semple Stadium (7.30pm).

THE latest pathologist to have his work examined by the HSE is still under investigation in Britain and has been suspended until the outcome of the investigation is known.

THEY only remember your mistakes.

He’s not the biggest, but he’s one of the busiest. Clare wing-forward Jonathon Clancy spoke to Diarmuid O’Flynn ahead of the Munster final.

I DIDN’T see the man from the Manchester Evening News in the aftermath of Tuesday night’s defeat of Barcelona.

WELL, what a great week that was to be a Chelsea fan! The Liverpool game was hilarious. We were awful and deserved nothing from the game — which is what made Riise’s intervention even more fantastic. Right in the middle of a rendition of “You’ll Ne-ver Wa-alk Al……oh”. Cue mental abandon in the Chelsea end. I still have the bruises.

IN A Wexford village silenced by the death of a family, it was the innocent classmates of murdered Mark and Julie Flood who tried to articulate the enormity of emotions involved.

IT wasn’t just the warm spring sunshine that brought a sweat to the brows of Stoke players on Saturday. An agonisingly tight promotion race is enough to make even the coolest characters feel hot under the collar, but Rory Delap has no reason to fear a late collapse in the Potteries.

PATRICE EVRA is claiming that an alleged racist remark from a member of Chelsea’s ground-staff sparked the on-field brawl after Manchester United’s tempestuous defeat at Chelsea on Saturday.

“THIS community has had more than its fair share of tragedy, so people really don’t know what to do any more.”

PAT O’SHEA wasn’t just being diplomatic. He said straight out — when quizzed on the field minutes after the final whistle — that he couldn’t say if Kieran Donaghy had been ‘foot-blocked’ when he attempted to kick a goal in injury time in yesterday’s Allianz NFL final in Parnell Park.

ALL THE talk in the build-up was of the damage Cobus Visagie and the Saracens scrum could do to Munster and in particular loose-head prop Marcus Horan.
