Watergrasshill are unlikely Cork Premier IHC champions. An unbelievable success story.
Prior to this season, they hadn’t won a championship group game since August 28, 2020. From three successive seasons without a single group win to county champions. What a transformation by Watergrasshill. They'll play Senior A in 2025. 2-16 to 0-19 the final score. Read Eoghan Cormican's match report here.Â
 A run of three Carrigaline points has the deficit back to a goal with two minutes of injury-time remaining in the Cork Premier IHC final. 2-16 to 0-19. Watergrasshill holding on.
It's all over at Celtic Park. Clann Eireann have beaten Newbridge to reach the Ulster semi-finals.Â
 The Munster senior camogie final between GailltĂr and Truagh Clonlara has ended 1-09 each and will go to a replay.
 Ulster SFC quarter-final: Newbridge (Derry) 0-12 Clann Eireann (Armagh) 0-12. 58 minutes played.
 Cork Premier IHC final: Watergrasshill 2-15 Carrigaline 0-15
A crucial Watergrasshill burst. 1-3 without reply in seven minutes. From level to six in front. Adam Murphy won a free and then converted. Then half-back Michael O'Driscoll split the posts. Brendan Lehane's third had them three up.
On 52 minutes, Anthony Cronin's delivery broke to Sean Desmond. He shook off the challenge of two Carrigaline defenders and shook the net. 55 minutes gone.
Heading for the final quarter at Páirc Uà Chaoimh and this Cork Premier IHC decider is still deadlocked.
Rhys McCarthy put Carrigaline two in front within seconds of the restart with a wondrous score from the South Stand sideline and three red shirts in pursuit. Watergrasshill have pulled back the deficit on three occasions since, the latest from an Adam Murphy '65. 1-12 to 0-15. 46 minutes gone.
 Kerry's Castleisland Desmonds are the Munster LFGA senior champions. They have beaten Waterford's Comeragh Rangers 3-8 to 1-10.
It's tight in the Ulster SFC quarter-final between Derry champions Newbridge and Armagh's Clann Eireann. The Armagh side lead 0-11 to 0-10 after 47 minutes.

Carrigaline now leading by a point against Watergrasshill, 0-15 to 1-11, still 20 minutes or so left.
 AIB Munster LGFA Senior Final in Mallow: Castleisland Desmonds (Kerry) 3-6 Comeragh Rangers (Waterford) 1-6. Katie Murray (free) responds for Comeragh who are handed an additional boost when Aishling Leonard sin-binned for 10 minutes. Aoife Murray scores and it is 3-6 to 1-6 with less than quarter of an hour to go as Lorraine Scanlon kicks her third point. Those early goals still keeping Desmonds ahead. Ger McCarthy
HT: Carrigaline 0-12, Watergrasshill 1-8. There were 15 seconds of first-half injury-time played when Carrigaline hit the front for the first time in proceedings. A Dylan McCarthy foul on the galloping Ronan Kelleher enabled Brian Kelleher convert his fourth free of the half.
The score represented a fourth consecutive Carrigaline, following as it did a David Griffin boomer from distance and two from play from the aforementioned Kelleher.
Watergrasshill went the last six minutes of the half without adding to their tally. Indeed, they have managed only three scores from the 13th minute onward.
We're off for a cup of a tea.
Loughrea manager Tommy Kelly reveals early parenting shortcomings after Galway SHC breakthrough: “This is, you know, it's nearly like becoming a father for the first time. You're full of emotion, you're full of joy, and now once you've it done you don't really know what to do."

All square after 19 minutes in Cork Premier IHC final. David Drake and Rob O'Shea have clipped the last two points to bring Carrigaline level. Watergrasshil centre-forward Adam Murphy exerting considerable influence at the far end. He has already four ticks to his name, two from play and two frees. 1-5 to 0-8.

Cork Premier IHC final: Plenty of goalmouth activity early doors in this third tier Cork hurling final. Brendan Lehane was first to threaten for a green flag. The Watergrasshill corner-forward saw his drive blocked. In the third minute, fellow Watergrasshill corner-forward Padraig O'Leary flicked an Adam Murphy sideline cut to the net.
Carrigaline have since had a chance of their own. Rhys McCarthy and his flicked was denied.
Watergrasshill lead 1-2 to 0-4 after 10 minutes.

Rathnure are Wexford IHC champs, beating St James' 0-25 to 0-20.
Plenty of junior action today in Cork. Killavullen have beaten Dromtarriffe in the Junior A HC. 1-20 to 1-14. In junior football, Inniscarra beat Castlemagner 4-8 to 1-8. Back to hurling, Killeagh and Whitechurch level at full-time, extra-time ongoing. Ballinora have beatean Diarmuid O Mathunas 2-18 to 0-12.
Castleisland Desmonds are in complete control in the Munster ladies final. Amy Curtin nets the Kerry champions’ third goal of the opening 10 minutes. Comeragh in trouble. 3-3 to 0-2.
Enda McGinley's Errigal Ciaran had 10 different scorers in a complete performance that overwhelmed Cargin, says David Mohan.
All over in the Galway final. Loughrea win their third title. Anthony Burns’ late goal the crucial tipping point. 1-15 o 0-16 it finished.Â

Castleisland Desmonds are out of the blocks, as they sad, in the Munster ladies final. Two goals in first two minutes v Comeragh Rangers. Andrea Murphy and Amy Curtin netted.
Goal for Anthony Burns in the Galway SHC final. Loughrea 1-15 to 0-13 ahead. Three minutes left.Â
Larry Ryan here on the next leg of the blog. Kilmacud Crokes have 23 points to spare in the Leinster senior ladies final. 4-14 to 0-3 v Eadestown from Kildare.
Full time in Tuam Stadium, and no sooner did Corofin feel a flicker of hope through Liam Silke's point, their fourth in succession to make it 1-10 to 0-10, a fast break over the top saw Jack Nevin the furthest man forward and with Bernard Power miles out of his goal, the Pearses substitute had the simple task of tapping the ball forward and then rolling it into an empty net for the last score of the game.
The 2021 Connacht champions will now be the favourites to prevail in the west, and are very much on the shortlist of potential All-Ireland winners.
Full-time in Aughrim and Tullamore have survived a tense AIB Leinster club SFC quarter-final contest, eventually overcoming hosts Tinahely by 2-10 to 1-7.
Wicklow champions Tinahely, who shocked Portarlington last weekend, led by a point with 45 minutes played but couldn't push on for a famous result.
Tullamore substitute Mike Fox, twin brother of earlier goalscorer Dan, came off the bench and struck the goal that settled it for Tullamore in stoppage time.
Their reward is a Leinster club semi-final clash with Cuala, who beat Naas last night in Newbridge. That game will be played on the weekend of November 23/24.
Capptaggle have only just gone into double-digits and are four behind, 0-14 to 0-10. Too many wides and that penalty miss could be costly. It's frenetic stuff and Loughrea's inside line are looking for soft frees. Still keeping their noses in front.
And Lisgoold have done it! They are the Cork Intermediate A Hurling champions after defeating Erin's Own by 2-18 to 2-13 in SuperValu Páirc Uà Chaoimh. Cathal Hickey hit 1-2 from the bench, and that was the difference in the end.

Munster Club Championship Full Time Dr. Crokes: 1-15(18) Castlehaven: 1-8(11).
A decisive score? Stephen Horgan had brought Erin's Own back to within one point, but Cathal Hickey then blasted the ball to the net to put them 2-16 to 2-12 in front with under 5 minutes to go.
Last ten minutes here, and no sign of a Corofin turnaround, game still being played on Pearses' terms. Conor Harley bursting through two meek challenges to punch a point that makes it 1-10 to 0-6 sums up how it's all Pearses here. The All-Ireland favourites look to be on the way out.
Éire Óg progress to a Munster Senior Club Football Championship Semi-Final against Tipperary champions Loughmore-Castleiney back in Ennis in a fortnight’s time after overcoming Adare by 2-8 to 0-9.
Munster club IFC. Full Time. Kilshannig 2-12 Rathkeale 1-9.
Tony Brosnan has really showed his class down the stretch here for Dr Crokes, two more points in added time making it now Dr Crokes 1-14 to Castlehaven’s 1-8. A minute of the overtime left.
Five mins added time in Killarney Kieran O’Leary responds with a crucial point 1-12 to 1-8.
Penalty Haven in the 60th minute. Not sure what for, Shane Murphy seemed to have the ball on the line, but Damien Cahalane steps up and GOAL, it’;s 1-11 to 1-8 now heading into injury time.
Another goal in PĂšC! Liam O'Shea is after scoring a stunning individual goal for them to put them 1-14 to 1-11 in front. 14 minutes to go!
Lisgoold loooked have taken control here in Páirc Uà Chaoimhwith the opening six points of the second half to go 0-14 to 0-9 in front. Three of those came from the stick of Diarmuid Healy, who is having a major influence on proceedings.
Erin's Own struck back with a goal, however, as Cathal Lenihan teed up Dara Twomey for a well taken goal. 0-14 to 1-9 now.
It's game on in Aughrim as Wicklow's Tinahely, who shocked Portarlington in Round 1 of the Leinster club championship last weekend, have netted through Rory Stokes against Tullamore.
The 39th minute goal after a terrific counter attack left the raging underdogs a point ahead but Tullamore have just levelled to make it 1-5 apiece. 20 minutes or so to go at Echelon Park. Paul Keane.
2.30pm Kilshannig 2-11 Rathkeale 0-7, second Kilshannig goal from Darragh O’Sullivan, 52 mins gone.
AIB Munster LGFA Intermediate final in Mallow St Ailbe’s (Limerick) 0-7 O’Donovan Rossa (Cork) 0-10.

How many efforts have hit the upright in Killarney today? Six? This time the post denies Kieran O’Leary but defender Maidchi Lynch is there to tidy up and point. Tony Brosnan adds another and this one is running away from Castehaven, 1-11 to 0-7 on 55 mins.
Galway SHC final HT, Kenny Park, Athenry: Loughrea 0-11 Cappataggle 0-8.
Loughrea were the stronger side in the opening 10 minutes. They manufactured the first four points, all of them coming inside the first seven minutes and a couple from their half-back line, as Cappataggle were guilty of some wayward shooting.
A Jarlath Mannion goal attempt was put out by Loughrea goalkeeper GearĂłid Loughnane in the eighth minute. However, Niall Collins sent over the resultant 65 and Cappataggle were up and running.
Over the next seven minutes, they more than matched Loughrea’s early rally to go 0-5 to 0-4 up. David Malone sent over back-to-back points and Liam Collins equalised in the 13th minute before referee Brian Coen spotted an off-the-ball foul by Johnny Coen and Niall Collins had an easy free to send over.
An exquisite point from an acute angle by Neil Keary brought Loughrea but they required another leveller from Anthony Burns in the 23rd minute following a beautiful Mannion point.
Loughrea went ahead when Tiernan Killeen punished a foul on the roving Shane O’Brien but it was their turn to be hauled back on two occasions before they finished the half with a flourish.
Winning primary ball, Loughrea’s physical edge was demonstrated as they reeled off three scores in a row to go in 0-11 to 0-8 ahead. Burns, with his third point, Ian Hanrahan and Tiernan Killeen with a booming strike were the scorers.
Ooh, Haven sub Conor O’Driscoll is just in, and could have been the hero but his shot flashes across the goal and wide.
Straight red for Castlehaven’s Brian Hurley after clash with Cian McMahon. That could be a gamechanger. Crokes lead 1-9 to 0-7 after 50 mins.Tony Leen.
Centre-back Ikem Ugwueru strikes again, this time sitting in from the left corner to pass across the square for Ciaran Russell to flick to the net and give Éire Óg a 2-6 to 0-8 advantage over Adare entering the final quarter.
Just a few minutes to go and Errigal are home and hosed leading 0-13 to 0-7 as they have managed the second half well. David Mohan.
AIB Munster LGFA Intermediate final in Mallow. St Ailbe’s (Limerick) 0-7 O’Donovan Rossa (Cork) 0-9 after 55 minutes.

AIB Munster LGFA Intermediate final in Mallow St Ailbe’s (Limerick) 0-7 O’Donovan Rossa (Cork) 0-8 after 52 minutes. Aoife O’Dricool (O’Donovan Rossa) levels it with 10 minutes to go.
Both defences have performed superbly throughout a tight contest but it is Rossa’s who have now inched ahead thanks to Éabha O’Donovan’s free.
AIB Leinster club senior football championship quarter-final, half-time report.
Tullamore (Offaly) 1-4 Tinahely (Wicklow) 0-5.
Tullamore's quest for a rare win in the AIB Leinster club SFC, and a glamour semi-final clash with Cuala, hangs in the balance at half-time in Aughrim.
The Offaly outfit lead by 1-4 to 0-5 at the interval though haven't been as commanding as many expected.
Dan Fox's sixth minute goal for Tullamore came after they'd struck a couple of wides and it looked like it might settle the visitors down.
But they've only added four more points, to five from hosts Tinahely, and it remains anyone's game.
Wicklow attacker Eoin Darcy is Tinahely's best known player and he has scored two points, wearing number 11 but operating much closer to the Tullamore goals.
Matthew Ging, son of manager Martin, and who blasted 12 points in the county final to secure a first Wicklow SFC title for Tinahely in 40 years, has scored a point too.
But Tullamore look just the more threatening side and have been at their best when counter-attacking Tinahely, relying on stylish centre-back John Furlong to set things up for them.
Despite winning 30 Offaly SFC titles, Tullamore have only ever won a single game in Leinster, way back in 1977, so can't take anything for granted today. Paul Keane.
2.11pm Éire Óg hit the front for the very first time as Ikem Ugwueru’s slaloming run from 40 metres was finished to the bottom right corner at 1-4 to 0-6.
The roar around Tuam Stadium is massive to greet John Gilmartin's half-time whistle, as the Pádraig Pearses supporters rise to acclaim an incredible first half performance from their heroes.
It's been a devastating attacking display from the Roscommon club, with Eoin Colleran (0-3) and Paul Carey (1-3) filling their boots. It's 1-8 to 0-3 at the break, and the Galway champions are on the ropes.
All around the pitch Pearses are dominating Corofin, with Niall and Conor Daly hugely influential, and only a Jack McCabe mark raising a flag at the town end of the ground since the 5th minute.
Corofin are too good to be written off at this stage, but coming back from here, if they can achieve it, will be as good as anything they've done in their long and illustrious history.
AIB Munster LGFA Intermediate final in Mallow. St Ailbe’s (Limerick) 0-7 O’Donovan Rossa (Cork) 0-6 after 45 minutes.
The Limerick senior champions continue to lead against O’Donovan Rossa in a tight, low scoring Munster final. Kate Kennedy and Georgina Keane have added to St Ailbe’s total with Kate O’Donovan, Sinead Farrell and Laura O’Mahony on target for the Skibbereen club.
Suddenly it’s a six point gap as Cian McMahon points for Dr Crokes on 38, 1-8 to 0-5.
Penalty for Dr Crokes after Cian McMahon is dragged to the ground and goal from Tony Brosnan in the second minute of the second half. 1-6 to 0-5. Searing run from Gavin White set up the chance.
Fifteen minutes into the Galway SHC final, Loughrea and Cappataggle are level, 0-4 apiece.
Loughrea hit the first four points but after a slow start with three missed/saved scoring opportunities Cappataggle have well and truly settled.
David Malone has picked off a brace of points for them. Clare's John Conlon is part of Loughrea's management team and operating as a water carrier.
Barry Coleman began the scoring for the visitors in the second minute, but the remainder of the first quarter belonged to Kilshannig.
Joint-captain Éanna O’Hanlon, Tom Cunningham (2) and Diarmuid O’Sullivan with points and then in the 14th minute Diarmuid O’Sullivan found the net - joint-captain Colm O’Shea, Éanna O’Hanlon and Darragh O’Sullivan instrumental in the build-up.
An Éanna O’Hanlon put the host 1-5 to 0-1.
Rathkeale, sorely missing man of the match and attacker from their county final victory Paul White who is teaching in Dubai, registered their second and third points through Andrew White frees, 1-5 to 0-3 in the 20th minute.
The influential Killian O’Hanlon landed a delightful free from distance, and this was followed by minors from Ciarán O’Sullivan and Éanna O’Hanlon.
Rathkeale Mikey Morrissey’s point in the 28th minute was the final score of the half.
The All-Ireland favourites are shell-shocked here in Tuam Stadium with 25 minutes gone. After corner-forwards Dylan Canney and Darragh Silke scored the first two points, Pádraig Pearses have gone on a run of 1-5 without reply.
Paul Carey has 1-2, including a goal that came at the end of a breakaway move, while he also cleared a shot off the line, after Brian Cogger beat goalkeeper Paul Whelan with his shot.
Eoin Colleran, man of the match in the county final against Roscommon Gaels, also has three excellent points on board as Pearses lead by 1-6 to 0-3 with five minutes to go to half-time.
There was little to choose between a pair of well drilled defensive sides in the opening period of a well attended provincial decider.
Numerous turnovers and multiple stray passes meant two nervous teams were separated by St Ailbe’s Georgia Keane free after 9 minutes.
O’Donovan Rossa took an age to settle and saw three attempts drift wide before Cork senior Laura O’Mahony was brought down and Éabha O’Donovan equalised from a free.
St Ailbe’s attempts to build on their early good work saw Mairead Kavanagh’s close range shot saved by Skibbereen goalkeeper Ella Hayes.
Fionnuala O’Driscoll was causing issues on the edge of St Ailbe’s square. Rossa’s full forward fielded a high delivery before walloping over a fine score.
Pressing high on Rossa’s kickouts, St Ailbe’s enjoyed plenty of possession but 20 minutes elapsed before Georgia Keane levelled from her second free of the afternoon.
Despite kicking four wides, the Limerick senior champions finished the half stronger with Eimear Ryan, Georgina Keane and Meadhbh MacNamara raising white flags.
Éabha O’Donovan provided O’Donovan Rossa’s only response and the 2023 All-Ireland junior champions changed ends two points in arrears.
It’s been score for score at Lewis Road and though the Haven didn’t lead until the 22nd minute, they’ve been every bit as good as their hosts.
Crokes are the sort of side though that doesn’t need to be dominant to succeed - they had two half goal chances for goals but the final pass didn’t go to hand.
Two points from frees for Brian Hurley but if there is one player in Munster who he wouldn’t like to have marking him it would probably be Gavin White.
Tony Brosnan hasn’t got into the game - Micheal Burns is the best front man in the first half for Crokes.
The Haven will presumably spring Damien Cahalane and perhaps his inter county colleague Rory Maguire from the bench in the second half. Neither started.
It is also half time in the AIB Munster Club Intermediate Football Championship Quarter Final and it is Kilshannig (Cork) 1-8 Rathkeale (Limerick) 0-4.
It is half time in Killarney and the hosts Dr Crokes are edging the Munster Club SFC quarter final against reigning champions Castlehaven 0-6 to 0-5.
In the other Munster quarter final it is Adare 0-4 Éire Óg Ennis 0-2 as the whistle is blown for half time. Not the most thrilling of games there.

Errigal Ciaran have one foot in the semi-final as they have domionated the opening half at Corrigan Park where they lead Cargin 0-10 to 0-4.
Ruairi Canavan grabbed their first from play as David Johnston went into the book for a foul in the build-up and the Tyrone champions were flying.
However, their shooting began to let them down with five straight wides, yet Cargin were still having no joy getting anything going in the opening period and it took goalkeeper John McNabb to finally get them off the mark with 16 gone.
The Antrim champions enjoyed a mini spell as Tomás McCann and Sean O'Neill replied to one from Ben McDonnell, but the Tyrone side reasserted themselves over the final 10 minutes of the opening half with six of the last seven scores as Joe Oguz, Tiernan Colhoun and Peter Og McCartan assisted the Canavans, Darragh (two) and Ruairi as they have taken a deserved six-point lead into the break.
Great game in Killarney and it is currently Castlehaven 0-4 Dr Crokes 0-4.

Athenry’s Kenny Park is heaving ahead of the Galway SHC final (1.45pm throw-in). The rivalry between Cappataggle and Loughrea ramped up in the last 48 hours when somebody planted a Cappy flag on Lough Ree. It was taken down overnight.
So neither Damien Cahalane or Rory Maguire start for @CastlehavenGAA. Both big misses. They are replaced (though not directly) by Conor Cahalane and Jamie Walsh.
