Barring a miracle, Meath will spend back-to-back seasons in the Christy Ring Cup for the first time since it became the third-tier competition in the intercounty hurling system. Wicklow’s 3-17 to 0-16 win over Meath has left the Royal County all but eliminated from a competition where they would have started as the clear favourites. They now need London to draw with Tyrone, Wicklow to beat Derry and for a 36-point swing in scoring difference to occur between them and the Oak Leaf men.

Kevin Egan reports from Laois Hire O’Moore ParkIT WAS LIVELY, it was intense, it was open and thrilling, and it was evenly-contested in almost every aspect, bar one. Kerry created more goal chances than Tyrone in this All-Ireland U20 semi-final contest in perfect conditions in Portlaoise, but through a combination of poor finishing and all-out defence from the Ulster champions, Tyrone are now one hour away from making it three All-Ireland titles in four years at this grade.

The return of TJ Reid to championship action was a bigger story than anything that happened on the field at UPMC Nowlan Park this evening, and the seven-time All-Star didn’t miss a beat as he fired in 2-9, 2-2 from play, in a facile win for the Cats. As a contest, there was little to report. Offaly travelled to Kilkenny with the heads down after three hammer blows crushed the rising sense of optimism surrounding the hurling scene in the county.
