Wexford 0-18 Kilkenny 1-17 Kilkenny are the winners of the inaugural Bord Gáis Energy U20 Leinster title after a five-point win over Wexford this evening.  Sharpshooter Adrian Mullen was ruled out prior to the game with a grade 1 quad tear suffered in Sunday’s senior quarter-final win over Cork, but once his team took the lead in the 10th minute, …

It’s been over two weeks since the county completed the minor and senior provincial double against Kilkenny and the hurling buzz in Wexford shows no sign of slowing up.  Quite the opposite in fact as a large crowd is expected to descend upon Innovate Wexford Park this evening for the Bord Gáis Energy Leinster U20s hurling final when the county …

Being managed by some of Kilkenny’s biggest legends, Evan Shefflin finds himself in a position all young hurlers must envy.  At club level, the 19-year-old is trained by 10-time All Ireland winner, Henry Shefflin, who happens to be his uncle while moving to inter-county level, the younger Shefflin is currently the captain of the U20s side managed by DJ Carey. …

With a break in the All Ireland Senior Hurling Championship, we have a moment to catch our breath and reflect on what has been an intriguing competition thus far.  We have experienced huge shocks in the championship already, not least Galway’s exit in the provincial stages at the hands of Dublin, and Mattie Kenny’s sides subsequent loss to Laois which …

Listening to Noel McGrath following Tipperary’s win in the All Ireland quarter-final on Sunday, it’s clear that their early championship exit in 2018 hurt the team profusely.  While it was far from an inspired performance against Laois, the Loughmore-Castleiney man was beaming that Tipperary were back in an All Ireland semi-final, even though Tipperary only had to endure a one-year …

If we learned anything from Laois’ win over Dublin last week, it’s to enjoy every success when it comes your way. Eddie Brennan rightly allowed his players time to enjoy their Joe McDonagh victory before they settled back down and pulled off the biggest shock in the hurling calendar so far this year. Another team who were celebrating a historic …

All eyes will be on Croke Park and LIT Gaelic Grounds this weekend as the Electric Ireland GAA Munster and Leinster minor hurling finals get underway.  Following an impressive campaign, Kilkenny will take on Wexford in the Leinster final while Limerick and Clare will meet in the Munster decider. The Leinster minor final will be live-streamed on the Electric Ireland …

It was an exhilarating opening round of the Bank of Ireland Celtic Challenge in Group C as Laois and Wexford secured tight wins.  Laois can rest next week and keep an eye on how the other results pan out as Plunketts take on Offaly while Wexford play Dublin Clarke who were not in action this week. Read a round-up of …

At just 22 years of age, Katie O’Connor is preparing to lead her team into the AIB All Ireland Senior Camogie Club final on Sunday, and if that wasn’t daunting enough, among her teammates are a number of her childhood heroes. O’Connor has never been short of GAA mentors growing up with her father and uncles heavily involved in hurling …

Limerick manager, John Kiely, has praised his players for the manner in which they saw out a close and tough game against Wexford in Innovate Park yesterday. Though Limerick led for the majority of the game, they hit 14 wides and had to contend with a late Wexford comeback that Liam Óg McGovern denied a goal by the post. However, …

Limerick manager, John Kiely, has made an obvious statement of intent ahead of their Division 1A opener by including 11 All Ireland final starters in his team to face Wexford. Hurler of the Year, Cian Lynch, is named in the starting XV, alongside fellow All-Star recipients, Dan Morrissey, Sean Finn, Richie English, and Declan Hannon, who captains the side. Following …

Wexford GAA have paid tribute to their former footballer, Scott Doran, who has died at the age of 44. He made his debut for the Model county in 1992 and made 103 competitive appearances for them during a 14-year period. Doran notched up 25-174 before deciding to leave the county panel at the end of the Allianz Football League in …

Limerick wing-back, Dan Morrissey has insisted that all four teams will be taking the challenge very seriously when they take to the pitch for the Fenway Hurling Classic in Boston this evening.  The All Ireland champions will face Davy Fitzergald’s Wexford in the semi-final (throw-in 6.50pm) following a repeat of the Munster final when Cork take on Clare (throw-in 5.45 …

Four counties will lose home advantage for one game in the 2019 Allianz Leagues as a result of breaching rules on training camps, according to a report in the Irish Independent, but Dublin have escaped punishment. Seventeen counties were originally investigated but only Wexford, Armagh, Waterford and Laois will have their League fixture moved to a neutral venue. It is believed …

The All Ireland U21 team of the year has been announced with five players representing champions, Tipperary while beaten finalists, Cork have six names on the team list.  Senior stars, including Mark Coleman and Robbie O’Flynn, are among the inclusions for Cork but there is no room for Young Hurler Of The Year nominee, Darragh Fitzgibbon. For the Premier County, Jake …
