"Four down with 12 minutes to play in the wind, they never say die."Donnelly was manager when Tyrone lost the 2021 final to Meath, and he admitted "if it will ever come back again"."That final whistle going will be a memory I will remember for the rest of my life."It hasn't sunk in yet to be honest with you."The build-up to the final was dominated by the unavailability of Joel Kerr, who had played a key role in Tyrone's progress to the final but had joined Premier League club West Ham on 1 said the 16-year-old was "some lad" and Tyrone had "no issues" with West Ham over the decision."We knew from the start that it could be problematic and we've no problems with West Ham, they've put investment in the kid.

Bobby Jenks, White Sox World Series-winning closer, dies at 44
An erratic starting pitcher with dominant stuff as a top prospect for the Anaheim Angels, Jenks rose to prominence after the White Sox claimed him off waivers in December 2004. Just a few months later, he was a beloved part of the White Sox's surprise championship team. Manager Ozzie Guillen, rather than signaling with his left or right hand, pantomimed Jenks' rotund shape when he wanted to call the closer into the game. And few were better for a time: Jenks grabbed hold of the closer's job in Chicago late in 2005 and saved four of their 11 postseason victories that season, including Game 4 of the World Series when the White Sox clinched the title with a 1-0 victory at Houston's Minute Maid Park. Former Chicago White Sox All-Star pitcher and 2005 World Series Champion Bobby Jenks passed away yesterday, July 4, in Sintra, Portugal, where he had been battling adenocarcinoma, a form of stomach cancer. He was 44 years old. — Chicago White Sox (@whitesox) July 5, 2025 "We have lost an iconic member of the White Sox family today," White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf said in a statement. "None of us will ever forget that ninth inning of Game 4 in Houston, all that Bobby did for the 2005 World Series champions and for the entire Sox organization during his time in Chicago. He and his family knew cancer would be his toughest battle, and he will be missed as a husband, father, friend and teammate. He will forever hold a special place in all our hearts." Jenks etched his name into the major league record books two seasons later, when he tied Jim Barr's record of 41 consecutive batters retired, the first to hold that record as a relief pitcher. Jenks' run came over 14 perfect outings. He was an All-Star in 2006 and 2007, when he saved 41 and 40 games, respectively. He pitched six seasons for the White Sox before closing his career by appearing in 19 games for the 2011 Boston Red Sox. Jenks died in Sintra, Portugal, the White Sox said, as his stomach cancer progressed to its latter stages. He is survived by his wife, Eleni Tzitzivacos, their two children, Zeno and Kate and four children from a previous marriage: Cuma, Nolan, Rylan and Jackson.
