With Athenry already through to the GULLANE'S HOTEL Junior C Final, it is taking another replay to decide who will meet them in the decider.Last weekend the Athenry side proved too strong for their Tynagh-Abbey-Duniry opponents in their semi-final (3-15 to 0-6).

They also have a very tight set of backs and are well capable of holding the threat of their opposing forward units.The second semi between close rivals Mullagh and Meelick-Eyrecourt...

With only two matches last weekend, it was important for davey fitz to get one match correct and that he did, and in the process keep the barking dogs at bay.With only a possible 5 matches to predict, this weekend is another vital one with two of them coming up for decision.The senior semi-finals between Turloughmore v Loughrea, and Gort v St. Thomas's are the two matches and will make for some very interesting calls.Davey fitz will have to hold his nerve and call it right, but he still has innocentboy and Helebear22 hot on his heels, while...

The men of Ardrahan can safely look forward to Senior Hurling in 2013 thanks to this hard fought win over neighbours Clarinbridge last weekend.

Clarinbridge took an early lead, but by half time Ardrahan had it taken over (1-5 to 0-7). They stretehed the lead to four points early in the second half, but Clarinbridge came back and levelled the tie with less than ten minutes left on the clock (1-11 to 0-14). But...
