Spotlight switches to Senior hurling championship
THE SPOTLIGHT switches to the Senior hurling championship this weekend with the two knock-out quarterfinals down for decision.
KEOGH'S CORNER
WHAT'S ANOTHER YEAR? No one has told me but I am prepared to bet that Tony Hannon was among many Wicklow people in Croke park on Sunday. If he was then he must have been watching with more than ordinary interest as Kildare player Richard Kelly lined up the kick that could have ended Down's interest in the All-Ireland. A year ago Tony was in the same position in Aughrim and is not likely to forget the scenes when his kick sailed between the posts to sent the Down packing.
Emmets hold out against Avondale
BRAY EMMETS held out for a narrow win over Avondale in the replay of their Junior C hurling championship game at Ashford on Thursday night.
Glenealy edge out Knockananna in thrilling final
Glenealy 6-5, Knockananna 5-6: Glenealy and Knockananna served up pulsating entertainment for the couple of hundred enthralled spectators that were fortunate enough to be present in Avondale GAA grounds last Wednesday night.
Carnew cruise to big win
COUNTY CHAMPIONS Carnew are through to the semi-final of the Senior hurling championship after romping their way to the last four with a comprehensive 19-points win over luckless Arklow Rock Parnells at Aughrim on Saturday. There was a time when there would scarcely be a puck of a sliothar between these two great hurling rivals, but a yawning gap has opened up in latter years as the Arklow seasiders strive to rise phoenix like from the ashes.
St. Pat's come out on top
ST. PATRICK'S and Kilmacanogue renewed old rivalry when the sides meet in round three of the Judges Inn Junior A Football championship which was played in perfect conditions at Ashford on Saturday last. Although St. Patrick's struggled during the second-half for spells in which they held off a rally by the men from the Sugarloaf, the result was never in doubt as the Wicklow town side emerged victorious with a four-point winning margin to keep their championship hopes alive.
KEOGH'S CORNER
SENIOR HURLING: The only thing that the fixtures people got sorted at the weekend was the shape of the knockout stages of the Senior hurling championship. Carnew had their expected win over Arklow Rocks to confirm their place in the semi-finals; Kiltegan did not play their match against Glenealy and the points were awarded to Glenealy so they top the table, take the Kavanagh Cup and go through to the semi-finals.
Ballinacor hold on for victory
BALLINACOR NOTCHED up their third victory in the Junior A football championship at Greystones on Saturday but their overall performance on this occasion was not on a par with the previous outing.
Accurate Conyard fires Glenealy into the final
Glenealy 2-13 Barndarrig 1-04: ALAN CONYARD sent Glenealy winging their way to the first of a possible four adult hurling finals this year with a champagne performance at Arklow on Tuesday night. Barndarrig, with a strong tradition of hurling behind them, can provide stubborn opposition to the best of them, but full-forward Alan Conyard blunted their resistance with his smashing haul that included a goal and eight points.
Glenealy inflict first defeat on Eire Og Greystones
EIRE OG Greystones suffered their first defeat in the Intermediate hurling championship at Ashford on Saturday when beaten by Glenealy by two points after a very competitive and interesting match.
