Cork got their title defence off to a smooth start after their comprehensive win over Limerick in the opening round of the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Senior Championship at Páirc Ui Rinn on Saturday. Following on from the successful shorts v skorts motion last Thursday it was back to action on the pitch rather than off it. Due to the postponement of the Munster final Cork didn’t have a game for five weeks, but you wouldn’t think it as they were in total control, from the first minute to the last.

Glen Rovers were crowned AOS Security Division 1 Hurling League champions after a highly entertaining game at Ballinlough on Saturday night. It took a late free from Nathan Goulding to separate the sides as Vincent’s staged a superb comeback when it looked like they were gone.

There was good news for Cork divisional camogie sides yesterday as they are now able to enter the senior championship for 2025. Earlier this year they were technically able to enter but any player that played at senior level with a divisional side would then not have been able to play with their club at a lower level, i.e. intermediate or junior. This was not a Cork Camogie Board ruling but came from the Camogie Association.

Heartbreak for Cork as they last out to Waterford in their TG4 Munster Senior Football Championship clash at Dungarvan GAA Club on Sunday. But there can be little argument the better team won on the day as the home side dominated play for long stretches. The sides were level at half-time and it looked like it was going to be a close game, but two Waterford goals, in two minutes swung the game in their favour and from there they never looked back.
