Fr. Tom Burke’s 2-18 Galway 0-21 Fr. Tom’s left it late to capture the senior hurling trophy, and that after seeing 3 star players return to Ireland before the final.  Galway looked to be very much the side in control of affairs for most of the game, and while not scoring at will, were able to maintain more or less a 4 point advantage until late in the game.  John Moylan was on form for t […]

Aidan McAnespies 4-16 Galway 1-10 Aidan McAnespies ended up with a comfortable win over Galway in the second semi-final Sunday.  It was a game where Galway needed to take their chances to have a chance of upsetting the apple cart, however the Westerners saw the ball drift wide all too often when the opportunity arose.  McAnespies were clinical in front of goal with a rampant Tony Brosnan […]

Connemara 2-9 Gaels Donegal 1-16 Donegal and the Connemara Gaels played a very exciting 60 minutes that was full of incident and plenty of exciting football.  There were some great scores and a sending off, that actually served to lift the Gaels efforts in the final 10 minutes to almost pull off an unlikely comeback.  Donegal however were full value for their victory, with some impeccab […]

New Hampshire Wolves 1-16 Sean Og’s 0-8 It was a match between the old hands and the young guns to decide who would meet Worcester in the Junior B final in two weeks time.  At the end of the day it was the New Hampshire Wolves who came out on top after a hard fought encounter.  Much of the difference was down to the accuracy of the New Hampshire men who took their chances while the Sean […]
