Goal-shy Galway reliant on deadly accurate Cathal Mannion
Against Kilkenny, Dublin and Wexford in this year's Leinster championship Galway managed just three goal chances, while their opposition combined for a total of 19. Despite winning two of those three games en route to this afternoon's Leinster hurling decider against Kilkenny - Galway conceded eight goals and scored just the one. That sole green flag came against Wexford in added time to give the Tribesmen an eight-point lead. Ultimately when they face the Cats again at Croke Park, Galway will need to create more goal chances and concede much fewer if they are to reverse the 12 point-deficit in April. Kilkenny scored three of half a dozen chances in that comfortable first-round victory in Nowlan Park on a day when the visitors failed to create even one half goalscoring chance. In their victories over Wexford and Dublin, the Tribesmen scored one goal from three chances. Those two missed chances were both easily saved from tight angles under extreme defensive pressure and they were rather fortunate to concede just five goals from 13 chances. While Galway have been short on goals they haven't lacked for points - raising by far the most white flags of any county prior to the provincial finals. That tallies 131 in five matches, and in those three games they managed 79 points compared to 55 from the other teams combined. Central to that has been Cathal Mannion. The Ahascragh-Fohenagh forward has scored 2-43 in four games, with 1-28 from placed balls and 1-15 from play. In the county's three biggest tests to date against Kilkenny, Dublin and Wexford he scored a total of 0-35. The 2015 All Star has been in sensational scoring form for his team and in those three encounters his scores and assists have accounted for 54% of his team's total. The 2017 All-Ireland winner has assisted 0-08 as well as winning two of the frees he converted himself. His other start came against Offaly when he scored 2-08, assisted 0-05 and was fouled for two of the three frees he floated over the bar. In his four Leinster outings this season, the 30-year old has scored or assisted 56% (2-56) of his team's combined scoring. If he'd featured in the 28-point demolition of Antrim his numbers would be off the charts. Mannion's scoring is all the more impressive when you consider his shooting accuracy. From 24 in-play shots so far this championship he has scored 1-15. He has worn the free-taking responsibility lightly. In his maiden campaign at inter-county level with placed-ball duties, Mannion has scored almost 81% from his 36 attempts in Leinster, with five of his seven misses coming from his own half. Looking at the three games against Kilkenny, Dublin and Wexford in isolation he has scored 24 of 27 attempts, showing not only an impressive range, which was to be expected given his scoring ability from general play, but also an excellent temperament under pressure. On average (in-play) Mannion has been directly involved in over 10 scoring opportunities per game. In total he is averaging six shots and just under 0-05 from play per game, almost 0-8 from placed balls, and 0-03 in assists per match so far in the 2025 championship. While Mannion's form will give Galway fans hope, the reliance on him is a cause for concern. One of Galway's biggest scorers in recent seasons, St Thomas' Conor Cooney has started four of his team's five games off the bench. Along with his 11 points (nine frees) when starting against Antrim, in those three substitute appearances he has amassed 1-03 from play making him the highest scoring substitute so far in the Leinster championship. While eight Kilkenny hurlers have contributed to their team's scoring as replacements, only three Galway players have. Nevertheless in a tight encounter, if Micheál Donoghue again opts against starting the 2017 All Star, he could prove the difference maker when introduced. It was Cooney who scored his team's only goal in the games against Kilkenny, Dublin or Wexford. However, even if Cooney provides a similar impact off the bench and Mannion continues his free-scoring form - Galway will need a huge slice of fortune to win any game when conceding so many goal chances and creating so few.

Tredagh Boxing Academy enjoy gold rush up North at Armagh/Down Championships
Three of their fighters saw Friday night action at the Armagh/Down Open Championships in Craigavon where Daniel Mathews boxed very well in his semi-final against Dundalk opposition and was unlucky to be edged out on a split decision. Daniel, only back from a long injury, was very impressive in the first half of the bout but lost the last round, with his inactivity for the past two months a key factor. Callum Carragher boxed his final against a very sharp Jake Daly from D Box. This was in the senior section and it was Callum's first experience of three rounds of three minutes duration, with no headguard. This was undoubtedly the fight of the night as it showcased two very talented boxers. Callum's advanced technical combinations and hard-hitting backhands were very impressive in a high-tempo contest and he was crowned as an Armagh/Down Open senior champion by unanimous decision. Darragh Smyth was in action against a very strong, game boxer Christian Mc Masters from Portavogie Boxing Club and this was another high-tempo, tough bout. Darragh's skillset has really improved over the past year and this, mixed with his natural strength and hard-hitting backhand, was the difference as he was also crowned as an Armagh/Down Open champion. The Saturday was another busy day as boxers and coaches from Tredagh Academy took off in different directions. At the All-Ireland Cadet Championships in the National Stadium both Cian Smyth and Charlie Flanagan were in action again after their impressive wins in the same competition the weekend before. Cian Smyth was up first and he faced Se O'Neill from St Janice's Boxing Club in what turned out to be another fantastic bout. The Tredagh fighter was particularly impressive in rounds two and three but lost out on the dreaded split decision. Nevertheless, there was plenty to admire about Cian who is technically still a novice and yet won one bout on his National Stadium debut and very nearly progressed to the semi-finals. ADVERTISEMENT Learn more Charlie Flanagan from Tredagh faced the current All-Ireland champion from Avona, took the first round and was winning the second when he tripped and injured his knee. Unfortunately, Charlie had to retire and is having the issue medically addressed. Like young Cian, Charlie really excelled in this competition, coming through two rounds, and it didn't go unnoticed as he was invited onto the coveted Leinster Development Squad. The same weekend Tredagh also sent a number of boxers to Craigavon for their respective Armagh/Down finals. Kailin Morris had a cracking contest with Ethan Mulligan (Camlough) and lost narrowly, while James Hackett also fought opposition from Camlough, boxed very well at range and triggered his aggressive, hard-hitting backhand to become an Armagh/Down Open champion by unanimous decision. Jamie Campbell was also involved in a tough three-round battle against a strong lad in Toryn Simpson (SOTS BC). Jamie bit down on his gumshield hard and showed great determination and will to earn the decision and get crowned as an Armagh/Down Open champion. Emma O'Gorman had a repeat of her All-Ireland final against an opponent from Castleblayney and raised her game. So much son that the Tredagh corner felt she had won, but the outcome went the other way on a split decision. There was better fortune for Keith Muma who gave a technical masterclass with aggression to beat Eoin Bennett (John McCoy BC) by unanimous decision and win another Armagh/Down title. Meanwhile, Ceejay Sheelan and Andrew Mathews attended Leinster Development Squad training in Carlow recently, while Michael James McDonagh and Simon McDonagh boxed at the exhibition show in Bay City BC in Dublin. Tredagh's head coach Padraig McCullough attended weekend four of the Sport Ireland Coach Developer Course in Limerick University. Overall, in the past few weeks Tredagh Academy have won seven golds and three silvers in the senior Armagh/Down Championships and seven golds and one silver at the equivalent junior competition - the club's biggest ever number of champions in those two tournaments.

The joy of six - Limerick's Munster final triumphs
Limerick stand on the brink of another feat never achieved before in Munster hurling – seven senior titles in a row. That would rival the provincial milestone of Brian Cody's great Kilkenny team of 2005-2011, another side who won four consecutive All-Irelands. The Cats go for a third Leinster six-in-a-row against Galway tomorrow. Six had never been achieved in Munster until last year either; today's opponents Cork managed five twice, from 1975-79 and 1982-86. Let us remind you just how John Kiely's men went from Munster rarely men to the brink of a magnificent seven. 2019 Limerick 2-26 Tipperary 2-14 The Treaty had missed out on the provincial decider in 2018 but third in the inaugural round-robin was enough for a place in the knockout stages and they went all the way, pipping Galway in a thrilling final for their first All-Ireland SHC triumph in 43 years. The defence didn't start too well, with defeat to Cork in the Gaelic Grounds, but huge wins over Waterford (20 points) and Clare (18) meant they were all but through ahead of facing Tipp in the final round. Seamus Callanan's goal was the difference as the Premier ran out 1-22 to 0-21 winners to finish with a 100% record (the only time it has been done) in the group and eight points. However, Limerick had rested key men like Declan Hannon, Hurler of the Year Cian Lynch and Gearóid Hegarty, while Tipp lost Patrick 'Bonner' Maher (cruciate ligament) and Cathal Barrett to injuries that were put them out of the final rematch. And the Green Machine showed their true strength back on home turf, recovering from an early Callanan goal to hit one of their own through Peter Casey (1-05) and lead 1-11 to 0-09 at the interval, having played against the wind. Limerick dominated their opponents after the break, replying to John McGrath's goal with one of their own from Kyle Hayes (1-02) as part of an unanswered run of 1-06. Hegarty (0-03) and Tom Morrissey (0-04) were also big contributors from play. Declan Hannon, one of just four survivors from the county's previous victory in 2013 - itself a first in 17 years - lifted the cup, which they added to that year's league trophy to complete the set. Tipp were to have the last laugh however, regaining Liam MacCarthy after Limerick slipped up against Kilkenny in the All-Ireland semi-finals. 2020 Limerick 0-25 Waterford 0-21 Over 500 days passed between that first Munster triumph and the second. For a while, it looked like Covid-19 might put paid to hurling altogether, but instead the format reverted to knockout/back door, behind locked doors. Limerick were again relatively comfortable winners over both Clare (also counting as the league final) and Tipperary before meeting Waterford, provincial finalists in their first year under Tipp native Liam Cahill. The Déise had beaten Cork by four points despite conceding a late goal to Patrick Horgan, and put it up to the champions at an empty Semple Stadium. The sides were level five times in a first half Limerick shaded by 0-14 to 0-11 and the challengers briefly inched ahead before the water break (remember those?) as Stephen Bennett (0-12, 9fs) led the charge. But Hegarty, Graeme Mulcahy and Seamus Flanagan all contributed to the traditional strong finish as Limerick retained the Munster crown for the first time since 1981. They won all 13 games they played that year, including handing Waterford a much heavier beating – 0-30 to 0-19 – in an All-Ireland final played at an eerie Croke Park two weeks before Christmas. 2021 Limerick 2-29 Tipperary 3-21 An extraordinary Limerick comeback in this second half and it's summed up here by this Kyle Hayes effort. Watch now on @rte2 or highlights on #sundaygame from 9.30pm — The Sunday Game (@TheSundayGame) July 18, 2021 This final was arguably the most interesting, for a number of reasons. Or a number of numbers. 35: the highest number of points Limerick scored in any of the six finals. 30: the highest total they conceded. 10: the half-time deficit they overturned. 2: the number of red cards they escaped, according to Jackie Tyrrell. Tipp started like a train at Páirc Uí Chaoimh, goals from Jake Morris and John 'Bubbles' O'Dwyer sending them scorching into a 10-point lead at the break, 2-16 to 0-12. The scores were still level two minutes in the second half when 30th-minute sub Aaron Gillane was fouled by Cathal Barrett but swung his hurl back into the defender after the referee had blown the whistle. Paud O'Dwyer seemed to be looking straight at the incident but somehow deemed it only worthy of a yellow card. It's hard to imagine the epic comeback that followed would have happened with 14 men, and they could have finished without another when Flanagan went in high with the hurl on Ronan Maher, though less obviously and late on. Gillane scored 0-06 (4fs), a total matched by Tom Morrissey (1f). Limerick scored the first three points of the half before Flanagan's goal - from a blocked Gillane shot - really got things going and the holders were already ahead by the second water break. In the 56th minute, Hayes took off on a memorable run for their second, game-settling goal. Tipp lost an All-Ireland quarter-final shootout to Waterford, which proved the last game of Liam Sheedy's second spell in charge. Limerick beat the Déise by eight points in the semi-final before hammering Cork on a record 3-32 to 1-22 scoreline in the decider. 2022 Limerick 1-29 Clare 0-29 The first and probably the best final of the trilogy was a relentless slugfest in the rain in Thurles. Clare were, and still are, chasing their first Munster since 1998 and were prepared to fight fire with fire. Tony Kelly hit seven first-half points but a Hegarty goal had it level at half-time – 1-11 to 0-14. Nobody led by more than two points over the initial 73 and a half minutes but the Banner needed a sublime sideline cut from Kelly (0-13, six from play) to force extra-time. Limerick seemed to have the fresher legs in the additional periods, Flanagan finishing with a superb eight points, as Hannon fittingly became the first captain to lift the Mick Mackey Cup. Clare fought back in their All-Ireland quarter-final against Wexford but were blown away in the semi-final by Kilkenny. The Cats gave Limerick, who had edged a war of attrition with Galway, their closest All-Ireland final of the Kiely era, which they won by just two points 1-31 to 2-26. 2023 Limerick 1-23 Clare 1-22 Aaron Gillane is the start of this Munster final. Huge moment for Limerick as they move in front. ⌨️Updates: 📺Watch: #sundaygame — The Sunday Game (@TheSundayGame) June 11, 2023 Clare had raised hopes that Limerick were mortal after all when edging their round-robin encounter by a point at the Gaelic Grounds – the Treaty's first championship defeat in almost four years. So they were happy to play the provincial rematch on Limerick's home turf rather than travel to the much further afield neutral venue of Páirc Uí Chaoimh. Things looked to be going to plan for the challengers at half-time as a Mark Rodgers goal had them 1-11 to 0-11 ahead. But, as so often, Limerick upped the intensity in the second half and Gillane (1-11, 8fs) took over. Clare surprisingly left Cian Nolan, already on a yellow card, on the danger man and his 44th-minute goal put them back in front. The hosts scored five in a row after Kelly had levelled and though the Banner pushed all the way, they could never draw level. The game finished in high drama, referee Liam Gordon playing on after a premature pitch invasion before controversially denying Clare a last-gasp free that could have forced extra-time. Hannon again lifted the trophy as Limerick became just the second county to win five Munster titles in succession and first since Cork in 1986. Clare gave a better account of themselves in the All-Ireland series, thumping Dublin in the quarters before a narrower semi-final loss to Kilkenny. Limerick were more comfortable winners over Galway this time, despite a difficult start, and produced one of the most sensational half hours of hurling ever seen in the final as they overturned a five-point deficit to thrash Kilkenny by nine and seal four in a row. 2024 Limerick 1-26 Clare 1-20 'Our first-half performance against the breeze was exceptional... we always found a way to get those extra couple of scores' John Kiely reflects on another Munster crown for Limerick 📺 Watch on @RTE2 and @RTEplayer 📱Updates — The Sunday Game (@TheSundayGame) June 9, 2024 The record-breaking sixth triumph proved the easiest since the first. Limerick had beaten Clare in the group stages but only after the Banner imploded, having been nine points up by the 52nd minute. Surely revenge, and that long-awaited provincial title, were in store. They wouldn't make the same mistake with the venue anyway, we were heading back to Thurles. Different stadium, same outcome. A Peter Duggan goal levelled the game just before half-time, 1-10 to 0-13, but once again Limerick lifted it in the second half, Hegarty's opportunistic 46th-minute goal easing them into a lead Clare never cut to more than four points. Six Munsters in a row for a county that had won just one of the previous 22, taking them to 25 overall. There was a twist in the tale though. Clare finally got the better of Kilkenny in a semi-final and Cork stunned the champions, ending their drive for a first All-Ireland five-in-a-row. The Banner then edged a classic extra-time final by a single point.
