Horisk and Muldoon goals vital as Tyrone secure Ladies All-Ireland intermediate title
Ladies All-Ireland IFC final: Tyrone 2-16 Laois 1-13 Goals in either half from Aoife Horisk and Katie Rose Muldoon proved pivotal as Tyrone edged out Laois by six points to capture the TG4 All-Ireland intermediate football final at Croke Park. Having succumbed narrowly to Leitrim in last year's decider, it was Tyrone's turn to celebrate on the biggest day of the year as they finished the contest strongly to deservedly secure the Mary Quinn Memorial Cup for the first time since their sole success in 2018. Tyrone enjoyed a 1-7 to 1-5 interval lead with Horisk's 27th minute goal cancelling out an equally superb finish from Laois' Shifra Havill four minutes previously. There was little to separate the teams throughout a nervy second half but the decisive moment arrived in the 54th minute as Muldoon left Laois goalkeeper Eimear Barry helpless with a shot from close range. It was Tyrone that seized the early initiative through points from Sorcha Gormley and Cara McCrossan before Laois struck back to level parity by the fourth minute courtesy of scores from Jane Moore and Emma Lawlor. Lawlor edged Laois in front in the seventh minute, immediately after their corner-back Faye McEvoy had produced a superb goal line clearance at the opposite end, with parity restored soon after through a Niamh O'Neill free. Parity continued as Emily Lacey and Aoife Horisk (free) traded points by the end of the first quarter with the Ulster county re-establishing their two-point advantage thanks to Sláine McCarroll and the lively Gormley. Niamh O'Neill's seven points proved crucial for Tyrone. Picture: Leah Scholes/Inpho However, their inaccuracy up front undermined their general control as O'Neill placed her shot too close to Eimear Barry in the 22nd minute and that profligacy was punished in an instant as Lawlor worked well in releasing Havill for an emphatic finish to the roof of Amelia Coyle's net. Frustration continued for Tyrone in the 26th minute as Gormley was denied from the penalty spot following a foul on Horisk but the latter made no mistake a minute later as she drilled home from ten yards to edge her side two points clear by half-time. Laois wasted little time in getting back on level terms as Mo Nerney and Fiona Dooley both scored within three minutes of the restart. Crucially, Laois were unable to get in front as this time as O'Neill (free) and Horisk responded for Tyrone, with the latter becoming increasingly influential as the contest evolved. The same could be said for Nerney, who added two points in quick succession to bring Laois to within a point by the 43rd minute. However, their momentum stalled ten minutes from time as Ciara Crowley was yellow-carded and O'Neill's subsequent free helped double Tyrone's advantage. The contest was effectively settled as Muldoon followed up well to net after fellow substitute Emer McCanny had been denied and they pulled away by the final whistle thanks to insurance points from O'Neill, Gormley and captain Aoibhinn McHugh. Scorers for Tyrone: N O'Neill 0-7 (3f), A Horisk 1-3 (0-1f), S Gormley 0-3, K Muldoon 1-0, A McHugh, S McCarroll, C McCrossan 0-1 each. Scorers for Laois: E Lawlor (3f), M Nerney (3f) 0-5 each, S Havill 1-0, F Dooley, J Moore, E Lacey 0-1 each. TYRONE: A Coyle; J Lyons, G McKenna, E Quinn; C Campbell, M Mallon, C Canavan; A McHugh, S McCarroll; E McNamee, S Gormley, A Horisk; N O'Neill, C McCrossan, M Corrigan. Subs: E McCanny for McCrossan (36), K Muldoon for McNamee (45), A McGahan for Campbell (53), C McCaffrey for O'Neill (58), J Barrett for Horisk (59). LAOIS: E Barry; S Farrelly, C Dunne, F McEvoy; A Gorman, A Moore, A Moran; F Dooley, J Moore; S Havill, E Galvin, C Crowley; E Lacey, E Lawlor, M Nerney. Subs: L Kearney for Gorman (39), M Cotter for McEvoy (45), K Donoghue for Lacey (47), A Fitzpatrick for Havill (56). Referee: Shane Curley (Galway).

Meath star Vikki Wall's Australia move, All-Ireland triumphs and Olympic woe
Vikki Wall boasts a sporting résumé few can match. Following two All-Ireland titles with Meath LGFA, she turned her attention to rugby and Australian rules football. Not only has she represented Ireland on the international stage, but she's also brought her talents to the far side of the globe, showcasing her versatility and drive across multiple codes. Olympic dreams When Vikki turned her focus to rugby 7s, she hoped to be chosen for the team heading to the Paris Olympics in 2024. Unfortunately, when it came time for team selection Vikki wasn't one of the players chosen. Opening up about not being picked, she told the Irish Independent: 'I was aware of the position I was in in terms of how much of a challenge it was going to be, but look, I always back myself.' Vikki continued: 'I have definitely been leaning on friends and family over the last few weeks and just feeling the feelings, not trying to hide away from them. But it's also about compartmentalising it and understanding that sport is obviously bigger than one person and how good it is that the team is going to the Olympics – it's such an achievement. 'I had to get straight back to training after selection, so it was easier to put it on hold, but it's definitely a process of grieving and dealing with it. 'You're doing things in the background, just to check in on your own mental health and well-being to make sure you're keeping yourself on the right track, as well as going to training and making sure the team is going off in the best place possible. 'I don't know if I have had any past experiences that I could draw on to this extent. The day of selection, I knew that even if things had gone well, I didn't want to be around a lot of people, so I had a plan in place to go and see friends and family.' Life in Australia Vikki has played two seasons for the North Melbourne Football Club, an Australian rules football club. She made her debut in 2022, before returning for the 2024 season - where she claimed her first AFLW title. She kept people up-to-date on her amazing life in Australia on social media, sharing snaps from her time as a player and also what she gets up to off the pitch too. The athlete spent a lot of time soaking up the sun by the beach and making the most of the incredible weather. She was also joined by her parents for part of her time Down Under and showed them some of the highlights of Australia, including the sandy beaches, the Sydney Opera House and her playing in front of giant crowds. Return to Meath LFGA After back-to-back All-Ireland Senior Football Championship wins with Meath, Vikki turned her attention to rugby and Australian rules football. However, she never ruled out a return to her original team, and made the decision to come back during the summer of 2024. Speaking about the lovely responses she's had from young LGFA fans, she told RSVP Live: "My mam is actually a primary school teacher so we had some fun receiving letters over in Australia when they had to write to someone - I got a few,' she shared. 'I was under stern warnings to reply to them all. 'My mam is actually a primary school teacher so we had some fun receiving letters over in Australia when they had to write to someone - I got a few,' she shared. 'I was under stern warnings to reply to them all. Vikki added: 'I feel like being involved with Meath during that time and seeing the effect it had even on our local GAA club, as young girls started taking up sport, and the county - that is more fulfilling than anything else. That alone is enough in itself and to be somewhat part of that was unreal.'
