Jubilant scenes as Offaly claimed the Intermediate title:
Despite leading from the outset, the Faithful County were made work for their win as Kerry clawed themselves level approaching half-time and just a point away from parity in the 53rd-minute.
However, three big second-half scores from Clodagh Leahy (0-7, total) and a player of the match display from Grace Teehan (0-5) who scored 4 from play guided David Sullivan's side to victory.

Wexford GAA take unprecedented step around club championship schedule due to Electric Picnic Festival
Some noses have been put out of joint over it WEXFORD GAA have taken the novel step of instituting a gap week when the Electric Picnic Festival is on. The progressive step was taken on the basis of two primary reasons. 2 This year's edition of the music and arts bonanza will be held from August 29-31 Credit: Getty 2 Round five of the county's hurling championship had originally been slated for that weekend County chairman John Kenny laid both out to the Irish Independent. He noted: "The CCC based it on what went on on that weekend last year. "We had requests coming in from all over the place and everybody wanting to play their matches on a certain day at a certain time. "So we just had the weekend free in the calendar. "Unfortunately, we were out of our inter-county championships earlier than we had hoped this year and we just had the weekend to play with and we said we'd put it in then." Kenny did acknowledge that not every club official was pleased with the measure since there has just been a gap week while the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann was on. But the vast majority of players are bound to appreciate not being put in the annual bind of choosing between lining out for their club and attending the Stradbally showpiece. It's a welcome good news story around GAA and the Model County given their hurling team's current plight. County legend Larry O'Gorman fears even darker days could be ahead – with the 1996 All-Ireland hero insisting that even a loss to Kildare would not come as a major shock. As evidenced by their failure to reach this year's All-Ireland series, O'Gorman feels his county have fallen behind Kilkenny, Galway and Dublin in the Leinster pecking order. He said: "Why didn't we qualify? Because them other teams are far greater than us at the moment. Inside Sharlene Mawdsley's 'delicious' yet atypical Tenerife holiday with GAA star boyfriend Mikey Breen 'We're well able to beat them on the big occasion. But when it comes to the crunch, or when it comes to qualifying for a Leinster final or an All-Ireland quarter-final or semi-final, it's a different kettle of fish. "And we haven't produced over the last number of years. That's the reason why we are where we are unfortunately.' ON THE RISE Kildare will enter the Leinster fray in 2026 as Joe McDonagh Cup champions. Backboned by their All-Ireland Under-20 winners of last year, Offaly are on the rise too. On the Faithful, O'Gorman said: "They're a young, fit, eager, hungry team. They've carried it from Under-20 into senior. We're going to be under pressure, to be honest. 'From a Dublin point of view, where they've come from, they're looking further down the field again next year. I think Dublin will be back in the Leinster final. "They'll be back in All-Ireland quarter-finals again next year. That's the level where Dublin are. 'From a Kildare point of view, their progress has risen so quick up the ladder that they can only get better. "Now, have they got the skill levels? Have they got the drive to stay up at that level? Or is this just a pop up and a pop back down? 'But I think Kildare, naturally the club in Naas are producing top-class hurlers but yeah, Kildare are going to be a threat to Wexford as well. "They're great hurlers, but the level we're at, I wouldn't be surprised if Kildare could even beat us."

Joey O'Brien urges Shelbourne players to heal the hurt by progressing in Conference League
Joey O'Brien wants his Shelbourne players to channel their hurt from Europa League defeat into hunting for continental glory elsewhere this year. Shelbourne exited Uefa's second-tier competition on a 4-3 aggregate following a roller-coaster third qualifying round, second-leg clash with Croatian side Rijeka at a rocking Tolka Park on Tuesday night. Ahead following a rousing come-from-behind 2-1 first-leg win on the Adriatic coast last week, Shelbourne found themselves 2-0 down midway through the second half of the return leg to a couple of simply sublime strikes from Toni Fruk and Tiago Dantas. An 86th-minute Mipo Odubeko penalty, awarded after a lengthy VAR check, drew Shelbourne level in the tie before Ante Orec, who had fouled John Martin for the spot kick, won it with a goal right on 90 minutes. READ MORE While the better team emerged victorious, it was a heartbreaking way to lose in front of a raucous home crowd. 'We saw them celebrating [on the final whistle] and we want that in two weeks' time. We'll use this hurt and turn that into hunting,' said head coach O'Brien. 'We're bitterly disappointed but we're still in it [Europe] and we want to go through. Rijeka's Ante Orec (left) celebrates with Tiago Dantas after scoring his sides third goal against Shelbourne at Olka Park. Photograph: Niall Carson/PA Wire 'When we scored the penalty, we had the momentum with us and we had a chance after it and we didn't take ours and they took theirs. 'I felt they had a lot of chances, but they didn't really trouble us too much. And then the [first] goal, it was a bit of quality. The second goal too was a bit of quality.' O'Brien will head to Belfast on Thursday night to get a first-hand view on Shelbourne's next opponents in the Conference League playoffs. That will be either Linfield, whom the Reds knocked out in the Champions League first qualifying round, or Vikingur of the Faroe Islands, with the Irish League champions trailing 2-1 ahead of their second leg at Windsor Park. The winners then enter a playoff for a place in the Conference League league phase and its guaranteed minimum prize fund of €3.8 million. Shelbourne will be at home in the first leg, with the club again hoping to be allowed to stage it at their Drumcondra home rather than moving to Tallaght Stadium. 'We looked fitter, looked stronger towards the end of it,' said O'Brien of his side's improved second-half display. 'The second goal they score, it's an unbelievable shot and an unbelievable goal. Shels' Kerr McInroy dejected after Rijeka scored their second goal at Tola Park. Photograph: Ryan Byrne/Inpho 'The lads stuck at it. I was immensely proud of them, how they kept going. We got the peno then late doors and, here, we were ready for a barnstorming finish. We had the chance [through Milan Mbeng] and we didn't take it. They went up and got a little bit of luck, I suppose, with a breaking ball. A good finish. It was a sickener. 'I thought our lads put in a monster effort and were right there at the death, but it wasn't good enough.' One of them was midfielder Kerr McInroy, who had a big chance saved by Rijeka goalkeeper Martin Zlomislic at 1-0 down. 'We're just disappointed with the result,' said the 24-year-old Scot. 'They are a top side and they showed that with the goals. 'We're disappointed to go out, but we are aware that we have another chance to get group stage football in the next couple of weeks. 'They were really good, the goals showed the level and quality they've got. But I thought we did well against them across the two legs. We stopped them playing, but the goals killed us. 'We've enjoyed these last few weeks and it's given us the hunger to go and get more over the next few months. We know we've now got a playoff game to give us the opportunity to do that. 'It's good for me and everyone else to challenge ourselves against different teams, different countries and different levels of players.'
