GAELIC FOOTBALL

Donegal defend the way to win

Donegal pulled off a shock as they defeated Derry by 1.11 to 0.11. But the game itself was won at the start of the second half when Donegal scored 1-5 without reply. The people who controlled the game for Donegal at this stage of the game were Murphy Mc Hugh and Thomson. Derry did not have a leader in this period of the match. The goal itself a ball from the half way line down the left side of the pitch who passes to two players in the centre where Frank Mc Lone was who gets an easy finish.

IS there hope for London as Galway cruise to semis

Galway cruised into the Connacht semi finals with a 3.17 to 0.7 win it looks like the heroes of London will not be coming this year or do Galway have the luck

Tyrone show why they can be so good

Down got an early penalty as Morgan saves a penalty that did not have this much power on it at the start of the match. Tyrone got an early goal from Ceiron Mc Ginley as he has a simple path to go from a good pass and put into the corner. Down were beginning to have momentum in this match that was slowed by a Ceiron Mc Ginley goal this left Tyrone having complete control of the match. Especially when Peter Harte scored a penalty that did not look like a penalty.

HURLING

Cork pull miracle draw from the death  

What a comeback from Cork it looked like this game was over as Waterford lead by 1-15 to 0-7 at this period Waterford man takes on 2 players from the half wine running past 2 defenders shooting and putting it in the net and with Cork getting a quality goal as for this one as the ball went into the small parallagram and the forward put it in the net   and a perfect point it gave them momentum that they were able to hold onto and equalise at 1-20 each with both teams getting another score each this game was going to a replay.   

Antrim get important win

Antrim secured a win and a chance in their quarter final but the match itself could have went either way in this close encounter but Antrim could only win it 0.22 to 0.20. Antrim will now play Wexford in the quarter finals which will be easier as Laois will play potential all Ireland champions Galway
