True Blue Dub

I watched the Sambo McNaughton Laochra Gael program this evening. An inspiring story of overcoming adversity and of achievement. It's a quality series and that's probably the best one I've seen.

Sars won 2-23 to 2-19 and they are in the semi final. Top class entertainment on @sporttg4.bsky.social

And now a Cork hurling match, Glen Rovers v Sarsfields.
The missus is delighted.

Ballymun won it 0-27 to 1-18 and they are in to the quarter finals. 27 points is fair scoring in fairness.
#gaa #GAA #speirgorm

Level at the half 0-9 each. Ballymun looked the better team but Whitehall got 3 2-pointers so they're still well in it.

Ballymun v Whitehall in Dublin SFC about to start now on TG4

Cork fought hard but Galway dug it out to win by a single point. It was a tough, physical, frantic game and Galway worked really hard to win it.
Well done the Galway Girls.

Cork have it all to do in second half of the camogie final. 5 points down and down to 14 players.
Galway have brought an intensity and toughness that has given them the platform for that 5 points lead

I hope Hannah Tyrell's injury is not too bad. She has been a wonderful footballer.

Dublin 2-16 Meath 0-10
A decisive win. They started strong, made it count on the scoreboard and they saw it out well. All-Ireland champions.
Up The Dubs.

Looking good so far

That was a brilliant first half by the Dubs. Well on top and their 11 point lead is well deserved.
Keep it going now.

Dublin play Meath today in the ladies football All-Ireland final.
Hopefully the girls in blue can do it.
#GAA #LGFA #speirgorm

No, I didn't see a turnaround of that magnitude. 3-14 to 0-2 in that second half was unreal.

Hard to know where Cork go from here. Will be hard to recover from this.
#gaa #GAA #speirgorm

What a second half. Tipp, Tipp, Tipp. They scored 3-14 to 0-2. Brilliant by Tipp. Didn't see that coming.
#gaa #GAA #speirgorm

Tipp keeping it tight and it was working fairly well, they were well in it. But when Cork got a sniff of a goal, they went for it and that's a huge score.
6 points is a good lead but not decisive in hurling.

Donegal were much too good for Meath today. Sets up a good final now.
#gaa #GAA #speirgorm

Meath's strategy of going for 2-pointers not working. Hit 2 out of 8. Donegal have been much better able to penetrate and create good scoring chances.
Hard to see Meath turning it around.
#gaa #GAA #speirgorm

Second football semi final. Meath have beaten Dublin, Kerry and Galway so they're here on merit. But they did lose to Louth and Donegal have been impressive and they have Michael Murphy, so I expect Donegal will win
#gaa #GAA #speirgorm

Not a great game but impressive again from Kerry.
#gaa #GAA #speirgorm

Good to see a big crowd there.
#gaa #GAA #speirgorm

Right. Football semi finals about to start. Without Dublin unfortunately.
Still, should be interesting game. Personally I'll be up for Tyrone and Donegal

Cork leaving "to catch a train" NFL QF 1987

Yeah, I'd expect Cork will win it. But it won't be easy. It'll be a ferocious contest.

Kilkenny will be kicking themselves that they didn't win it but what an unbelievable goal by Oisin O'Donoghue.
A first ever Cork v Tipp All-Ireland final.
#gaa #GAA #speirgorm

I'd say there are 2 reasons. 1) there's a railway runs behind/beneath it so space is limited and 2) many (although maybe not the decision makers in the GAA) feel there should be a standing option, a cheaper option.

Ah well. Can't argue with that. Disappointed.
#gaa #GAA #speirgorm

Not going well. 10 points down at the half. We're not winning enough of the long ball being sent in and our full back line has been left exposed a few times. Cork forwards are fast and there were a couple of lovely finishes in fairness.
10 points is a lot but you never know.
#gaa #GAA #speirgorm

One change on the Dublin team. John Hetherton starts in place of Darragh Power.
