Five-goal Cork girls win All-Ireland U-14 football title with extra-time goals
Cork 5-9 Galway 2-13 (after extra time) CORK edged out Galway in a fascinating Under-14 All Ireland Ladies Football Platinum final at Nenagh Éire Óg GAA Grounds last Sunday. A cracking encounter unfolded from start to finish but ultimately after extra-time Cork came away the happier team after a titanic battle for supremacy. The closeness of the scoring and the manner in which the lead changed hands provided a brilliant spectacle, the outcome determined in extra time with Cork pouncing for decisive goals. Defending holders Galway shaded matters for much of the first half to register three of the opening four points. Steadily Cork got to grips with the challenge posed, a Kate O'Connell effort saved by Galway 'keeper Natalie Ni Churraoin. Indeed Cork were ever so close from another goal opportunity by Laura O'Mullane, the Mourneabbey player denied by the woodwork. However, third time lucky for Cork, Grace O'Sullivan, the instigator to split open the Galway defence to lay off for Kate O'Connell to net for a 1-2 to 0-4 advantage at half-time. Galway were quick to make the running in the second half, Ellie Harty O'Brien netting from close range that confirmed a spell of dominance. In fairness, Cork got back on track, great work from Nell Kinsella placed O'Connell for her second goal and stalemate. As the excitement ramped up, points from Kinsella and Humphrey pushed Cork ahead only for Galway to respond and a pair of pointed frees from Mairead Mulkerrins levelled the game to ensure extra-time, Cork 2-8, Galway 1-11. Into extra time, first blood to Galway, Alana Glynn netting with Mulkerrins adding a pointed free. That left Cork facing a test of their resolve, their challenge appeared to be flagging only to summon up a storm Stepping up a gear, a blaster from Laura O'Mullane was unstoppable to find the net. Now Cork drove home their superiority, Kinsealla, the provider for Fia Comerford to raise a green flag. Galway stubbornly refused to give up, Mulkerrins on target to reduce the deficit yet Cork held the edge, a superb all round team performance rewarded on the outstanding Kinsella to arrow a beauty to the net to rubber stamp a marvelous victory.

The All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship 2025: Betting tips and predictions
THE ALL‑IRELAND Senior Hurling Championship 2025 stands as the pinnacle of inter‑county hurling in Ireland, with the prestigious Liam MacCarthy Cup awarded to the nation's best team. Historically, Kilkenny (36 titles), Cork (30) and Tipperary (28) have dominated the competition, but Limerick have challenged the trio's supremacy more recently, with four wins in a row between 2020 and 2023. However, Cork ended Limerick's bid for a historic five-in-a-row at the semi-final stage in 2024, only to fall to Clare in a thrilling final decided by a single point after extra time. With seasoned stars like Cork's Patrick Horgan and Kilkenny's T.J. Reid going for another title win, the 2025 championship promises to be another unmissable summer of hurling. ☘️ All-Ireland SHC 2025 quick tip Limerick to win the 2025 SHC - 2025 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship odds Here are the odds for other teams participating in the All-Ireland SHC Cork 11/8 Killkenny 9/2 Tipperary 11/1 Galway 25/1 Dublin 100/1 Laois 500/1 Kildare 500/1 Odds provided by Who are the current bookies' favourites? Limerick Limerick and Cork have had a fierce rivalry over the years, but it has reached new levels in recent years with their All-Ireland semi-final clash in 2024, and the 2025 Munster Senior Hurling Championship final penalty-shoot out. Limerick came out on the wrong side of both. But given their form over the past five years, John Kiely's team are rightly one of the favourites again in 2025. The bookies are split between the two. Bet365 are just favouring Cork at 11/8, with Limerick at 7/5, whereas BetVictor have both at 11/8. Cork Cork and Limerick made history in the 2025 Munster Senior Hurling Championship final, with a penalty shootout needed to decide the winner for the first time ever. Cork held their nerve to prevail 3-2 in the shootout, securing their 55th provincial title in the process. The shootout win also ended Limerick's run of six Munster titles in a row, and along with Cork's All-Ireland semi-final win in 2024, could the pendulum be starting to swing back towards Pat Ryan's team in the big matches? With Cork already into the semi-finals, the Kilkenny Kilkenny claimed their sixth straight Leinster title, and 77th overall, with a 3-22 to 1-20 victory over Galway in the final. While the scoreline appeared convincing, Derek Lyng's side were forced to weather a late Galway comeback, conceding 1-6 without reply in the closing stages. The win sees Kilkenny progress directly to the All-Ireland semi-finals, where a likely showdown with Limerick looms. Given the path ahead, bookmakers have priced the Cats as third favourites for the Liam MacCarthy Cup at 9/2. With the ever-reliable T.J. Reid leading the charge, Kilkenny will still fancy their chances of another title, although overcoming a fired-up Limerick will be no easy task. Who are among the underdogs? With the defending champions Clare already out, Tipperary (11/1), Galway (25/1) and Dublin (100/1) are the shortest-priced outsiders with the bookmakers. Dublin face Kildare in the Preliminary quarter-finals, with the winners facing the unenviable task of trying to stop Limerick in the quarter-final. Kildare are 500/1 to win the All-Ireland final, but the reality is, Dublin could well be the same odds, as neither have any real chance of getting past Limerick Tipperary are in the other half of the draw. They will face Laois (500/1) in the other Preliminary quarter-final, with the winner taking on Galway. Whoever comes through that quarter-final, will face Cork in the other semi. Limerick to win 2025 SHC It took two huge performances from Cork to beat Limerick in the All-Ireland semi-final in 2024 and in the Munster Championship final in 2025. They will likely need a third if they are to win their first All-Ireland title since 2005. A closer look at recent results shows us that Limerick thrashed Cork by 16 points in the fourth match of round-robin group stage, and with a semi-final against Kilkenny likely to be the only real obstacle to John Kiely's team reaching the final again, we are backing Limerick to come good and win their fifth title in six years. ➡️ Last year's All-Ireland SHC Clare shocked the nation in 2024 by winning the All-Ireland hurling championship for the first time since 2013. A dominant 12-point win over Wexford in the quarter-final was followed by an edgy two-point victory over Kilkenny in the semi-final. In the other half of the draw, Cork did the unthinkable and ended Limerick's four-year winning-streak. As a result, the title seemed certain to return to the south coast again. But Clare had other ideas, and thanks to the likes of Aidan McCarthy, Mark Rodgers, and a Man of the Match display by captain Tony Kelly, they beat Cork by one point after extra-time. All-Ireland SHC betting markets Match Betting This is the most straightforward market in hurling betting. You are simply backing either of the two teams to win or the match to end in a draw. For example, you could bet on Kilkenny to beat Galway at 4/5. Odds are offered on all three outcomes, and it's a popular choice for casual punters. Draws are rare but can offer excellent value. Goalscorer(s) This market allows you to bet on individual players to score a goal during the match. It can apply to first goalscorer, anytime goalscorer, or even multiple goals from a player. A multiple goals bet is often where value lies, especially with in-form forwards. An example bet could be for Tony Kelly to score a goal anytime against Tipperary at odds of 5/2. Or to back him for the first goal at better odds of 9/1. Handicap Handicap betting levels the playing field by giving one team a virtual advantage or disadvantage. It's useful when one side is a clear favourite, which can often be the case in the earlier stages of the hurling season. If your team still wins by more than the handicap margin, your bet comes in. For example, you back Limerick at -10.5 points to beat Offaly, meaning Limerick must win by 11 points or more. The odds are usually 10/11 or something similar in this market. Total Points This market involves betting on the total number of points scored in a game, usually in the form of over/under. It includes points from goals (worth 3 each) and regular points. Odds are typically at around 10/11. A bet on over 49.5 total points in a match that finished 26-25 (51 points in total) would win, while if the match finished 25-24 (49 points), the bet would be under and lose. Outrights Outright bets focus on long-term outcomes like who will win the All-Ireland Championship, provincial titles, or who will be top scorer. These are popular before and during the championship for value hunting. An example would be a bet on Cork to win the All-Ireland outright at 5/1, or Patrick Horgan to finish as top scorer in the championship at 6/1.

Burns: Moving All-Ireland finals to August on the cards
The prospect of the All-Ireland finals moving into August by 2027 and the potential reintroduction of replays for provincial finals remain live according to GAA president Jarlath Burns. The All-Ireland finals in both codes have been completed by the end of July since the split season template came into play three years ago. At the launch of this year's All-Ireland hurling championship at the Faithful Fields in Offaly yesterday, the GAA president pointed out that Croke Park was unavailable next August due to concert scheduling but said that the idea of the All-Ireland hurling and football finals moving back to the first and third weekends in August from 2027 was in the mix. And the GAA president also said he supported provincial final replays coming back on the calendar. Next year the All-Ireland SFC will have just two rounds which will save a week for the Allianz League. There will then be two weeks between the end of that competition and the start of the provincial championships. There is now also a train of thought to run the Joe MacDonagh Cup concurrently with the All-Ireland hurling championship. The nature of the match being decided on a penalty shoot-out has animated many hurling fans and administrators are now set to look at the issue of replays for provincial finals very closely in the coming weeks and months. Also speaking at the launch of the All-Ireland hurling series yesterday was Limerick playmaker Cian Lynch. The Patrickswell man wasn't aware there would be a penalty shoot-out to decide last weekend's Munster final until after extra-time. He congratulated Cork for the win but, from a personal point of view, he would prefer to see provincial finals go to a replay. "Hurling is such an instinctive game," he told RTE Sport. "It's an art form, it's an expression. Why do people play it? To let players go out and express themselves. It's because it's a 15-man game, it's a chance to have a man on the shoulder to pass the ball and keep the game moving. "But when it comes to penalties, other than the five guys and the goalie, there is the feeling of not being able to help if you're not taking a penalty. After playing 70 to 90 minutes of hurling, to have it based on standing over a penalty, that is tough. In my own mind I would maybe have another five minutes per half. Taking penalties is some responsibility, but great credit to the guys who were involved. "You would love to have another crack at it. Any team would but it's in the past now. We unfortunately didn't win. And Cork did."
