Early setback for Wexford as they suffer defeat in Clare
Wexford People
Today at 17:30
Wexford slipped to defeat in the opening game of the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Senior camogie championship, falling to Clare in Zimmer Biomet Cusack Park, Ennis on Saturday.
The Slaneysiders were left counting the costs of some poor free-taking, missing five in the second-half to let Clare off the hook. It's not the first time recently that Wexford have had inconsistent dead-ball days, and one wonders why the prolific Chloe Cashe is not taking them.

Limerick v Cork TV information, throw-in time, date and more for Munster final
The 2025 Munster Hurling Championship final sees Limerick and Cork clash in what's set to be a barnstormer this weekend. Limerick come into this one off the back of a loss to Clare, who were already knocked out of any further action in the championship. They had already secured top spot with their previous performances however. Cork were the last side not named Limerick to win Munster, capturing the 2018 title before their opponents on Sunday lifted all of the next seven championships. They beat Waterford last time out in what was essentially a Munster semi-final for the Leesiders. Last time these sides met was an infamous drubbing, which seemed to reverse the momentum of both sides, with Cork reeling after a strong start to the group, while Limerick showed that the big names still had some big performances to give. Here's what you need to know about the big game: Saturday, June 7. The TUS Gaelic Grounds in Limerick. The game is due to begin at 6pm. Yes, the game is being shown on RTÉ 2. Limerick - 4/7 Draw - 13/2 Cork - 2/1

'How can they be hungrier than us?' - Wayne Sherlock on 'cringey outside noise' and Cork focus
Nobody at Cork's Munster final press night was standing behind the door with their views. Each management member and player put up for interview arrived into the media room with a straight bat and swung repeatedly. Pat Ryan admitted that he hadn't sufficiently driven the standards in training during the three-week lead-in to their first summer visit Shannonside. Shane Barrett didn't dodge his red card tackle in Ennis and Patrick Collins was perfectly candid on the championship spells last year where his restart malfunctioned. And then there was selector Wayne Sherlock. The same as Ryan, he was asked about Paddy Power paying out on Cork winning the All-Ireland in the wake of their League final scorching of Tipp. The Blackrock local wound back his bat and let fly. 'I think we were being kind of set up, to be honest,' Sherlock began. 'Like, we only won a league, and we lost the All-Ireland final last year. I don't know how they could be picking us out to win the All-Ireland. That goes for any team. Limerick weren't at their best last year and they were being told that they were finished. 'It's kind of insulting. I think people want us to fail. How can you say Cork are going to win the All-Ireland just after winning a league final? 'We're around long enough not to fall for it. It's just being spoken about in such a way that you knew it was kind of insulting and they wanted us to fail. But was that the reason we played like that against Limerick, that we were thinking we were just going to beat them? It wasn't, 100 percent. 'We were hyped up before the Clare game and we put in an unbelievable performance in the first half. We were hyped up before the Tipp game and we put in a good performance. The noise was there and we still performed, just not for 70 minutes. But the outside noise is just cringey, to be honest.' Let's stay with the just-not-for-70-minutes comment. It's a feature of Cork performances Pat Ryan touched on following the 15-point championship dismissal of 14-man Tipp. The manager noted that Cork can't function in second, third, or fourth gear. It's foot-to-the-floor in fifth or nothing. The Tipp league final, Tipp round-robin game, and Clare championship opener in between confirmed as much. In the second half of Tipp's round-robin visit, for example, Cork lost the turnover count 14-11, despite their numerical advantage. On scoring chances created, 14-man Tipp came up just shy of their hosts, 22-19. 'We played well against Waterford in patches, but we're just not getting the whole 70 minutes together, which is the goal really. I don't know why it isn't happening. If we take our foot off the throttle, we're an average team. But when we're going full tilt and we're at it, I think we'll beat anyone. 'I suppose in the Limerick game, we were poor for the whole 70 minutes. Against Clare, we played very well for the first half. Against Tipperary, we played very well for the first half again. 'People were going on about how well we played against Tipp and Clare, but we weren't happy because we were only playing for 10 minutes, not playing for five minutes, and then playing for 10 minutes. I just can't put my finger on the Limerick game. We were delighted to win against Waterford. It put us in a Munster final so we're very happy with that.' Back to Limerick they go. Not since 2006 has a county won the Munster final in their opponents' backyard. To bridge that 19-year gap Cork must first bridge a 16-point gap from the initial trip up through Mallow, Charleville, and Buttevant three weeks ago. Cork last won Munster in 2018. Limerick have won every Munster since. They squeezed in four All-Irelands during that period. Hunger alone won't decide Saturday evening's latest collision. Far from it. But Sherlock just cannot fathom a situation where the hunger tabled by the decorated hosts is superior to their championship silverware-starved guests. 'If you were an outsider looking at a team going for seven-in-a-row, you'd be thinking it must be a cakewalk. But they've been winning most of the games by a point or two. Look, they're phenomenal. 'But going up to Limerick the next day, how can they be hungrier than us? That's my question. We have no All-Irelands, they have five. They're going for seven Munsters, a lot of our fellas have none. Realistically, how can they be hungrier than us? It's the question we have to ask ourselves and it can't be possible that they'll be hungrier than us. 'They're probably going to go down as one of the greatest teams ever to play the game. So if you're not at it for this, you probably shouldn't go up there. But one thing we can guarantee the Cork fans is that we'll definitely be better than the last day.'

Carty unlocks Kilanerin defence as St. Joseph's book league final place
Wexford People Today at 17:30 Long ball tactics paid off for St. Joseph's on their home patch on Wednesday, as their goal-getting ability saw them into the EBS Mortgages All-County Football League Division 4 final at the expense of a Kilanerin side seeking to match their Seniors' progress. Indeed, ten of the visitors had featured at some stage 24 hours earlier when they defeated St. Anne's to reach the top-flight decider, but they were denied a double in gloomy and wet conditions on Whiterock Hill.
