Kilmacud Crokes win first Sevens crown

All-Ireland Sevens: Hosts Kilmacud Crokes captured their first One Direct All-Ireland Senior Hurling Sevens title at Glenalbyn on Saturday, recording a 6-21 to 7-5 win over Portroe of Tipperary in the decider.

Crokes manager Ollie Baker said it was a very important win for the club, famed for hosting the competition.

“It’s brilliant, I didn’t realise until today that they hadn’t won it previously. It’s great for the lads to win a title that means so much to the club and to be the first ones to do it,” the Clare native said.
