Tipp turn the tide to seize All-Ireland glory

Tipp turn the tide to seize All-Ireland glory

Irish Post4 days ago
TIPPERARY sensationally claimed the Liam MacCarthy Cup after a stunning second‑half turnaround against long‑time rivals Cork at a packed Croke Park in Dublin.
Trailing at half‑time by six points (Cork 1‑16 to Tipp's 0‑13), Tipperary erupted in the second period, outscoring Cork 3‑14 to 0‑2, turning a deficit into a decisive 3‑27 (36) to 1‑18 (21) victory
A defining moment came early in the second half: Cork's Eoin Downey was shown a red card for conceding a penalty, which was expertly converted by John McGrath.
Cork were down to 14 men.
McGrath's arrival on the field of play delivered an immediate impact—he later added two more goals, completing a remarkable brace that underlined Tipp's dominance.
However, it was 19‑year‑old Darragh McCarthy who stole the headlines, contributing an incredible 1‑13 to the total. Despite the pressure of the big stage McCarthy delivered a performance of composure and maturity.
Manager Liam Cahill credited McCarthy's calm focus as key to the revival.
The victory also marks redemption for Cahill, whose leadership comes after challenging championship seasons, and it ends Tipp's six‑year All‑Ireland title drought with their 29th crown overall
For Cork, the result is devastating—their fifth All‑Ireland final defeat since 2005. Once strong in the first half, they completely collapsed under Tipp's second‑half surge
In front of a crowd of over 82,000, this final will be remembered as one of the greatest comebacks in championship history.

Ciaran Meenagh confirmed as new Derry football manager

DERRY GAA have confirmed the appointment of Ciaran Meenagh as senior football manager. The Tyrone native first joined the Derry senior football management team in late 2018 and served for five seasons as a coach, and also served as interim manager in 2023 following Rory Gallagher's departure. Meenagh has been part of Conor Laverty's backroom team for the last two seasons and replaces Paddy Tally, who stepped down after one year following a disappointing 2025 campaign in which the team recorded no wins. His previous stint with Derry coincided with an impressive run that included promotion from Division Four to Division One and back-to-back Ulster Senior Football titles. Advertisement The management team for the 2026 season will also include former Derry captain and All-Star footballer Chrissy McKaigue. Delegates also ratified the re-appointment of U20 football (Damian McErlain), Minor football (Kieran Glackin), Senior hurling (Johnny McGarvey), U20 hurling (Ryan O'Neill) and Minor hurling (Danny McGrellis) management teams.
