Exciting clash of Tipp and Kilkenny kids

By: 
Jim Rhatigan

A HURLING and camogie blitz born out of a sculpturing symposium is still thriving in Tullahought. It was in 1992 that Mike Williams presented a shield for the winners of a schoolboys' hurling blitz.

 

Three years ago a Heritage Weekend was launched  by Mary Egan and the blitz which had fallen by the wayside, was revived, and the game of camogie added.

 

The  competitions involve different clubs and medals are presented by the community liaison section of the Gardai. Eddie Nolan represented the Gardai on Sunday.

Fantastic afternoon for Kilkenny camogie

By: 
Jim Rhatigan

WHAT A fantastic Saturday afternoon it was for Kilkenny camogie. Kilkenny senior team had a brilliant 1-13 to 1-11 victory over Galway in the All-Ireland Senior Camogie semi-final and  while  the big crowd was delighted with the silken  skills and courage of the  senior girls,  there was  also much admiration for  the half time exhibition by local camogie kids.

The first senior game was a classic. It was a super advertisement for the  game of camogie. Indeed the entire afternoon  suggested  that the girls' game has reached a pinnacle in the country.   In the second 'semi'  Cork beat  Wexford in another camogie cracker.

Shamrocks are county champions

It's 1-14 to 1-11 at  Nowlan Park with two minutes of injury  time to  go. Shamrocks are poised  but courageous James Stephens are refusing to die. Man  of the match:  No doubt it's  Eoin Reid.

 

Henry puts Shamrocks ahead

SHAMROCKS are ahead by three points at the county final  enters injury  time. The  four in a row  is  well and truly on.

Nip and tuck at Nowlan Park

The senior  county final is  in the dying minutes and James Stephens are one point behind the Shamrocks.

Eoin goal for James Stephens

AN Eoin McCormack goal for James Stephens leaves it 1-0 to 1-7 for the Shamrocks.

Shamrocks ease in front

A CLASSY  goal by Eoin Reid sees the Shamrocks ahead  of James Stephens by 1-9 to 0-7 with 16  minutes gone in the second   half  of the county  final.

It's 2-0 to Liverpool

It's almost all over at Anfield where  Liverpool  and particularly manager  Rafa  Benetiz  breathe  a hugh sigh of relief as they halt their losing streak. Liverpool's Mascherano  has  been sent  off in injury time for a foul on United  goalkeeper Van Der Saar. Now it's well and truly over as Ngog scores  Liverpool's second goal five  minutes  into injury  time.

Vidic sent off in final minute

Manchester United  defender  Vidic  has received a second  yellow card and his marching orders in the Premiership clash with Liverpool who are about to collect three points. The game is in the final minute.

Half time: Shamrocks ahead by two points

It's half time at  Nowlan Park where Shamrocks lead by six  points to four after a scrappy  first half.

Liverpool ahead against Man United

Soccer interruption. Fernando Torres has just fired  Liverpool in front against Manchester United with a 65th minute goal.

Final outcome is wide open

Pardon the pun, but the  senior county  final would appear to be wide  open as half time approaches. Both teams have now fired four  wides from scoreable positions. But, playing against the wind, Shamrocks are ahead by 0-4 to 0-3.

Shamrocks lead by a point

shamrocks are ahead by three points to two after 15  minutes of the senior final.

Stephens nose in front

A  DONNCHA free has put James Stephens ahead by 0-2 to 0-1 in the senior final.

First blood to Shamrocks

Eoin Reid has put Ballyhale ahead with a point inside the first minute. But Eoin Larkin has just equalised for James Stephens from a free.

Young guns draw a blank

THE YOUNG guns of the Fenians and Lisdowney ended all square after a cracking Roinn 'B' Minor County Final at Nowlan Park today.

At the end it was 1-13 to the Johnstown boys and 2-10 to Lisdowney so the  young men must do it all again before either clubs gets its hands on the trophy.

There are less than five minutes to go to the throw in for the senior hurling county final between Ballyhale Shamrocks and James Stephens.

Persistent rain may be a problem

PERSISTENT rain may prove to be a problem for Sunday sport  in Kilkenny. However popular Kilkenny Umbro League fixtures secretary John Corrigan is keeping his fingers crossed that a  majority, if not all, of his  weekend pogramme will  go ahead.

He  is happy that two games were played at youths' level today and at  the time  of writing  all tomorrow's junior  programme is  still intact.
