Clonoulty-Rossmore 0-19
Toomevara 1-10

Fintan O’Toole reports from Semple Stadium

Click Here: cheap soccer tracksuits

A FIRST FINAL place since 2011 confirmed and the chance to end a county senior title wait that has dragged on since 1997.

It was a good afternoon’s work for Clonoulty-Rossmore in the first game in the Tipperary senior hurling semi-final double-header today, a merited victory over Toomevara in a game where they were in front from pillar to post.

The West Tipperary outfit were ahead by five points after the opening quarter, in front by the same margin at the break and had six points to spare at the finish. They put a healthy total on the scoreboard with seven different players contributing to their overall 0-19 tally. 

Timmy Hammersley top scored with 0-8 while his younger brother Conor Hammersley, a powerful influence at midfield, Cathal Bourke, Dillon Quirke and Tom Butler all shone in the scoring stakes as well. Further back the steadying influence of Ciaran Quirke and captain John O’Keeffe gave them a strong spine in defence.

Toomevara trailed 0-10 to 0-5 at the interval with the Tommy Dunne coached side failing to score until the 19th minute and their entire first-half contribution was supplied by Mark McCarthy, featuring a trio of sideline cuts and a pair of frees.

It was a tribute to McCarthy’s expertise from the sideline but spoke volumes for the difficulties Toomevara were experiencing in open play.

When they finally got off the mark from play courtesy of a Jack Delaney score in the 40th minute, Clonoulty countered immediately with a Timmy Hammersley free as they had stretched 0-15 to 0-7 clear. 

Toomevara, hit by a hammer blow early on with the loss of influential defender Jason Ryan with a wrist injury, were struggling but got a vital tonic in the 42nd minute when former county senior David Young, sprung from the bench early on, fired home a goal.

When he clipped over a 45th minute point and McCarthy tapped over a free, Toomevara had cut the gap to four. Young almost notched a second goal as well but another piledriver hit the side-netting while they had been repelled in the opening period as well by a smart block from Clonoulty’s Declan O’Dwyer to thwart McCarthy.

Hanging on to a 0-17 to 1-10 advantage, Clonoulty closed the game out in a clinical fashion. They protected their goalmouth to stop the leakage of further scores while Bourke and Butler clipped over points. 

Victory was assured before Johnny Ryan’s final whistle sounded. The memories of final losses in 2010 and 2011 still burn brightly for Clonoulty, they’ll get a chance to make amends in a fortnight.

Scorers for Clonoulty-Rossmore: Timmy Hammersley 0-8 (0-5f, 0-1 ’65), Conor Hammersley, Tom Butler 0-3 each, Cathal Bourke, Dillon Quirke 0-2 each, Paudie White 0-1.

Scorers for Toomevara: Mark McCarthy 0-7 (0-4f, 0-3 sideline), Davy Young 1-1, Jack Delaney 0-2.

Cratloe 1-14
Kilmaley 0-16

Eoin Brennan reports from Cusack Park, Ennis

CRATLOE WILL FACE Ballyea in this year’s Clare senior hurling final after clinging on for a minimum victory over intermediate champions Kilmaley in Cusack Park this afternoon.

19 wides apiece told its own story of a nervy low-scoring affair in admittedly blustery conditions that was in the balance right up to the final whistle as Kilmaley’s final two attacks failed to trouble the umpires.

Rian Considine marked his senior semi-final bow with 1-4 from play, with his 40th minute goal crucial to stemming the Kilmaley tide that was backed by the wind.

Indeed, that goal proved the main difference for the remainder until Kilmaley substitute Eamonn Bracken and top-scorer Mikey O’Malley fired two injury-time points to set up an anxious finale.

Cratloe did lead from start to finish though, snatching the whip hand with the wind at their backs in the opening period to build up a 0-5 to 0-2 lead by the 12th minute, two from Clare senior Cathal McInerney.

Conor McGrath forced a superb save out of goalkeeper Bryan O’Loughlin but that allied to 12 wides ensured that Cratloe would only hold a 0-9 to 0-5 advantage by the break.

With the wind to come, Kilmaley lowered the deficit to two thanks to Sean O’Loughlin and O’Malley entering the new half, only to be rocked back on their heels when Cathal McInerney and David Collins combined to tee up Rian Considine for the only goal of the game at 1-11 to 0-09.

With the wides tally mounting at both ends of the field, Kilmaley did respond with the next three points through Cian Moloney, Mikey O’Neill and Sean O’Loughlin entering the final ten minutes.

However, Considine and McGrath would do enough to protect their three point cushion as the game drifted over the hour mark.

Bracken and O’Malley’s points did suggest that extra-time might be on the cards but Kilmaley failed to grab that elusive equalising score as a relieved Cratloe held on to progress to their fifth final in ten seasons.

Scorers for Cratloe: Rian Considine 1-4; Cathal McInerney, Sean Collins, Conor McGrath 0-2 each; Podge Collins, Billy Connors (’65), Shane Gleeson (f), David Collins 0-1 each

Scorers for Kilmaley: Mikey O’Malley 0-4; Cian Moloney (1f, 1’65), Sean O’Loughlin 0-3 each; Mikey O’Neill, Daire Keane 0-2 each; Tom O’Rourke, Eamonn Bracken 0-1 each

Nenagh Éire Óg 2-18
Thurles Sarsfields 2-15

Fintan O’Toole reports from Semple Stadium

THURLES SARSFIELDS HAVE lorded Tipperary hurling in recent times, claiming seven of the last nine county senior titles and aiming to complete five-in-a-row this season.

But they were dethroned in Semple Stadium today, taken down at the semi-final stage by a Nenagh Éire Óg side who hit their stride from the off.

Last Saturday it had required the late heroics of Ronan Maher to dig out an improbable win for Thurles Sarsfields when he smashed home a goal to overhaul Kilruane McDonaghs. Against north Tipperary opponents again on this occasion, Maher billowed the net at the end but it couldn’t alter the outcome this time as they fell three points short.

Nenagh Éire Óg’s solitary final triumph came back in 1995, they will have a chance to add to that this year and atone for the crushing disappointment of 2013 and 2015 final reversals. They fully deserved this semi-final success, even though they had to endure an anxious last quarter.

The outstanding Michael Heffernan hit 0-9 for the victors with goals in either half from Andrew Coffey and Paddy Murphy also proving important moments. In front 1-10 to 0-5 at the interval, the advantage Nenagh Éire Óg enjoyed had swelled to ten points – 2-13 to 0-9 – after Murphy’s blasted strike to the net in the 44th minute.

Thurles Sarsfields mounted a powerful late rally. Denis Maher ignited their challenge with a goal and they hit a succession of points to trim the gap to three.

Nenagh Éire Óg were clinging to their winning position and were indebted to a stunning save from goalkeeper Shane Hennessy to prevent Conor Stakelum from raising a green flag. They were in front 2-14 to 1-14 entering injury-time but managed to weather the storm and string together four points in succession – Heffernan, James Mackey, Philip Hickey and Jake Morris all on target.

Pa Bourke lashed a late free over the bar and Maher smashed a later free under the bar to the net but the deficit was insurmountable. Thurles Sarsfields bowed out, Nenagh Éire Óg qualified for a third final in six seasons.

Scorers for Nenagh Éire Óg: Michael Heffernan 0-9 (0-2 sideline, 0-1f), Andrew Coffey 1-1, Paddy Murphy 1-0, Jake Morris 0-3 (0-2f), Tommy Heffernan, Philip Hickey, Conor Ryan, James Mackey, Pearse Morris 0-1 each.

Scorers for Thurles Sarsfields: Aidan McCormack 0-6 (0-5f), Ronan Maher 1-2 (1-1f), Denis Maher 1-0, Pa Bourke 0-3 (0-1f), Rory Purcell 0-2, Stephen Cahill, Stephen Lillis 0-1 each.

PATRICKSWELL AND KILMALLOCK completed the Limerick SHC semi final line-up with two big quarter final wins in a Gaelic Grounds double-header this Sunday afternoon.

Gary Kirby’s Patrickswell had 13 points to spare over South Liberties, while John Brudair’s Kilmallock had 26 points to spare over Murroe-Boher.

Patrickswell now play Doon in the semi final, while there is a repeat of last year’s final in the other semi final when Kilmallock face Limerick and Munster club champions Na Piarsaigh.

In the first of Sunday’s double-header Kilmallock eased to a 4-27 to 0-13 win over Murroe-Boher.

Kilmallock had goals from Oisin O’Reilly and Robbie Hanley to build a 2-8 to 0-2 lead inside 20 minutes and they never looked back.

Graeme Mulcahy chipped in with three points for the winners, who were 2-11 to 0-7 up by the interval with Tobin brothers Pat and Seanie on the mark for Murroe-Boher.

Less than five minutes into the new half Paudie O’Brien had another Kilmallock goal and entering the final quarter the winners were 3-16 to 0-10 clear.

Jake Mulcahy added the fourth goal in the final minutes.

Patrickswell’s passage into the last four was just as smooth with a 1-26 to 1-13 win over South Liberties.

The sides were level on five occasions up to 0-7 each with just over 20 minutes played but then Patrickswell upped the ante.

By half time they were 1-13 to 0-9 ahead with Thomas O’Brien getting the goal just before the interval whistle. Calvin Carroll and Lar Considine were among the first half scores, while Liberties relied on the frees of Brian Ryan.

The one way traffic continued in the second half with South Liberties failing to score until the 17th minute.

Despite 19 wides, Patrickswell continued to add the points with Jason Gillane and Darragh Ahern scoring off the bench.

Liberties’ found a goal in injury time when Ryan blasted a free to the net.

Kilmacud Crokes 3-13
Cuala 1-17

Stephen O’Meara reports from Parnell Park 

THE MARQUEE GAME of this year’s Dublin senior hurling championship saw the semi-final clash of three in-a-row Dublin, and two-in-a-row All-Ireland champions, Cuala, face southside rivals and 2014 champions, Kilmacud Crokes.

A repeat of the 2016 and 17 finals, this one had some added spice, with the respective managers, Cuala’s Mattie Kenny and Crokes’ Anthony Daly, each being whispered about as potential replacements for Pat Gilroy at the helm for the Dublin senior hurlers.

In the end it would prove to be Daly’s men who triumphed with a scoreline of 3-13 to 1-17.

The game started at a frantic pace, with the sides going man for man at the start, but two Crokes goals in the first half, from Oisín O’Rorke in the opening stages and Ronan Hayes in the 18th minute, would prove key, seeing the challengers lead by 2-8 to 0-7 at the break.

A post shared by The42 (@the42.ie) on Oct 7, 2018 at 10:03am PDT

Cuala’s cause wasn’t helped when they lost the influential Darragh O’Connell to injury in the 13th minute, forcing Kenny to reshuffle his team.

The beginning of the second half would see Croke’s continue to attack, and a strong run and finish from Damien Kelly gave the Stillorgan men their third goal.

Cuala, however, wouldn’t go down without a fight as Con O’Callaghan grew into the game, finishing with four points. Crucially, however, he wasn’t able to make any inroads towards goal, under close scrutiny from Bill O’Carroll.

The holders did pull a goal back in the 50th minute through a Seán Moran penalty, but the Crokes defence, lead by Niall Corcoran, were able to hold strong to the finish out with a two point win.

Ballygunner 2-19
Abbeyside 0-13

Tomas McCarthy reports from Dungarvan

PAURIC MAHONY SUPPLIED thirteen points as Ballygunner raised the News & Star cup for the fifth year in-a-row at a blustery Fraher Field this afternoon.

The Gunners talisman was a major doubt before the match with a back injury but was deemed fit to start and plagued the Abbeyside back line throughout. The undisputed man of the match sourced eight points from frees and five from open play. The 26 year old completed the Waterford SHC with a total of 2-66.

Mahony’s move to full forward was a significant switch during the first half. They led by three at the break after facing a stiff breeze and second half strikes by Conor Power and Brian O’Sullivan wrapped up a seventeenth county title.

Abbeyside finished with fourteen men after Patrick Hurney’s straight red card on 45 minutes. The Gunners outscored them 2-10 to 0-7 across the second period. Mark Ferncombe was a constant threat on the losing side and ended up with 0-8 for the day and 2-45 for the championship.

Six Mahony points left the favourites 0-9 to 0-6 in front at halfway. Abbeyside skipper David Collins won the toss and opted to play with the elements initially. 4,275 spectators crammed into Fraher Field as the Villagers appeared in their first final for ten years.

The underdogs made a dream start via Ferncombe after thirteen seconds. Patrick Hurney added a second a minute later. They shot seven costly wides during the first quarter however.

Two Mahony frees tied it up before Brian O’Sullivan supplied Barry O’Sullivan for the lead score on fifteen minutes. Maurice Power equalised immediately. Stephen O’Keeffe then dived at the feet of Hurney when Abbeyside sniffed a goal. Ferncombe slotted two frees to regain the lead.

Mahony then drifted into the edge of the square and four points (three from play) resulted. Brian O’Sullivan and Billy O’Keefe also obliged in a spell where the champions hit six in a row. The hard working John Hurney claimed Abbeyside’s first point for thirteen minutes.

Ferncombe struck first again for Peter Queally’s side 43 seconds into the second half. Mahony reacted with three frees at the other end. On 40 minutes, Tim O’Sullivan rounded John Elstead and offloaded to older brother Brian who slipped the ball low under Stephen Enright (1-12 to 0-7). A Mahony free extended the margin to nine. Ferncombe produced another spectacular point from an acute angle as he wriggled free from Barry Coughlan.

Thomas Walsh dismissed Patrick Hurney with fifteen minutes left for interference with Philip Mahony’s helmet. Conor Power belted home a second goal for the leaders on 50 minutes after he collected a Tim O’Sullivan delivery.

In the dying moments, Stephen O’Keeffe pulled off a full length save from Abbeyside sub Michael O’Halloran who mustered two consolation points. Sub keeper Paddy Cooke replaced O’Keeffe at the end as Fergal Hartley emptied the bench.

Ballygunner will encounter Cork side Midleton in the Munster club quarter final on October 28.

Scorers for Ballygunner: Pauric Mahony 0-13 (8fs), Brian O’Sullivan 1-3, Conor Power 1-0, Billy O’Keeffe, Barry O’Sullivan, Michael Mahony 0-1 each.

Scorers for Abbeyside: Mark Ferncombe 0-8 (3fs, 1 65), Michael O’Halloran 0-2, Maurice Power, John Hurney, Patrick Hurney 0-1 each.

ELEVEN POINTS FROM Stephen Sherlock saw St Finbarr’s through to a second straight Cork SFC final as they overcame Carbery Rangers in Sunday’s semi-final at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

The 2016 champions had looked well in control as they led by 0-8 to 0-4 at half-time, John O’Rourke scoring two while Sherlock had all of the Barrs’ scores, but the second half was a complete turnaround.

While points from Alan Jennings and Jerry O’Riordan kept the Rosscarbery side in front as Ian Maguire, Colin Lyons and Eoghan McGreevey had scores for the Barrs, four in a row from Sherlock around the three-quarter mark put the southsiders in front for the first time and they wouldn’t cede the advantage after that.

Though John Hayes ended a 14-minue scoreless spell for Ross, Michael Shields and Eoghan Finn extended the lead for the Barrs and Sherlock had two late points after Mark Hodnett had reduced the deficit to a point.

St Finbarr’s will have to wait until next weekend to find out their opponents in the decider after Castlehaven staged a remarkable fightback to draw 0-15 each with Duhallow in the first semi-final at Cork GAA headquarters.

Despite not sparkling, the Haven managed to draw level at 0-5 each by half-time thanks to late points from Michael Hurley and Seán Dineen, but the north-western divisional side got firmly on top after the resumption.

Points from Eoghan McSweeney, Séamus Hickey, Donncha O’Connor and Anthony O’Connor moved them into a 0-15 to 0-8 lead with four minutes of normal time left, the Haven down to 14 men by that stage.

However, seven straight points – four from Mark Collins, who finished with nine, and one each by Damien Cahalane, Brian Hurley and sub James Davis, who got the 67^th-minute equaliser, ensured that the sides must meet again.

After a thrilling game of football, Cargin edged into the final on a scoreline of 2-17 to 4-10.

The great rivals have won 18 of the last 19 county titles between them, with Lámh Dhearg’s victory last year the first time since 1998 that a club outside of Cargin and St Gall’s lifted the crown.

The sides were level at 2-5 to 0-11 at the interval, with Michael Pollock and the impressive CJ McGourty, who finished with 1-6, the St Gall’s goalscorers.

The 2014 champions added a further two goals in the four minutes after the restart through Niall O’Neill and Kieran McGourty to lead by six.

Michael Magill brought his tally to 0-4 and set-up a goal for Jamie Gribbin as Cargin surged back into the game. Eoghan McCabe and Pollock added scores while Kevin Niblock continued to cause trouble in the Cargin attack.

Trailing by two points in the 65th minute, Michael McCann was fouled and Tomás stepped up to bury his strike past county keeper Chris Kerr and into the roof of the net.

Cargin will take on Kickhams Creggan in a novel final pairing. Creggan booked their first appearance in the decider since 1977 after a 2-9 to 1-10 win over Naomh Eoin.

St John’s, who were beaten in last year’s decider, had a strong side featuring county footballers Patrick McBride and Matthew Fitzpatrick but their challenge fell just short.

Kickhams will take on Cregin as they bid to win their first senior football title in 64 years.
