Second chance for Cork GAA as camogie team meet Galway in 2025 final
Cork will have another chance at All Ireland glory when the camogie team take on Galway in two week's time for the All Ireland Camogie final. The teams won their respective semi-finals which took place on Saturday in Kilkenny's Nowlan Park. Cork beat Waterford on a score of 1-21 to 1-11, while Galway overcame Tipperary with the final score 1-18 to 1-11. 2Cork will have another chance at All Ireland glory when the camogie team take on Galway in two week's time for the All Ireland Camogie final. Pic: Ben McShane/Sportsfile Ailish O'Reilly was crowned player of the match for Galway and confirmed her teammates were eager to get back into the final following the 'heartbreak' of last year's defeat against Cork. 'We could obviously only take one day at a time,' she said, 'I think we believed in ourselves and kept all the noise outside of our group.' Cork player of the match, Saoirse McCarthy was delighted following the win, noting: 'These are the days you train for. Cork beat Waterford on a score of 1-21 to 1-11, while Galway overcame Tipperary with the final score 1-18 to 1-11. Pic: Ben McShane/Sportsfile 'We have Galway now in two weeks time and we're going to prepare for that for the next two weeks. We're going to go at it.' The clash between Cork and Galway is a repeat of last year's All Ireland Senior Camogie final, with Cork hoping to make it three-in-a-row — a feat which hasn't been completed since Wexford in 2020 to 2012. Last year, the difference was all in one single goal with the finals core 1-16 to 16 points. The repeat clash between the two teams takes place in two weeks time on Sunday, August 10 at Croke Park. Meanwhile, Derry's camogie team were relegated to the All Ireland Intermediate Camogie Championship for 2026 following a defeat in the relegation play-offs against Wexford earlier in the month. The Oak Leaf County lost against the Model County in Louth on a huge score of 4-21 to nine points.

Ex-St Pat's star basking in unplanned spell in America but jokes ‘I won't complain about bus back from Finn Harps again'
LEE DESMOND has already done double the time and been to Folsom Prison. But he is not singing the blues nor pining for life back home — much. 3 Lee Desmond plays for Sacramento Republic in California 3 He previously won the FAI Cup with St Patrick's Athletic Credit: Michael P Ryan/Sportsfile Dubliner Desmond swapped Premier Division St Pat's for USL outfit Sacramento Republic in But now in his fourth season and with the Republic having an option for a fifth, he has taken to life in the California state capital. So much so that the defender, who moved to the States with his girlfriend, acknowledged that he is not sure if or when he will be seen in the League of Desmond — who made 188 appearances for Saints between 2015 and 2021 — told SunSport: 'I knew you'd ask! But I don't know. Read More on St Pat's 'I change my mind quite often. Ideally, I'll finish up back home. All I can tell you is I'm very happy here. 'The plan was never to stay in America for four years, the plan was two and go back home. We are enjoying it. 'But it's tough with the eight-hour time difference and such a long flight and being home two months a year.' Sacramento Republic have taken to him too, as he has been co-captain since his first season at the club and has played a big part of their community work .

But Desmond admitted: 'I know the story but I wouldn't be his biggest fan. WAG Taylor Ward shares gender of second child with footballer Riyad Mahrez at stunning reveal in Dubai 'It started when the club went there to train last year — just to kick the ball around — and now we go once a month. 'The staff go in and play against the prisoners and we can go and watch and talk to the lads. 'So I've gone in four or five times and it's brilliant. 'It's full access, through the cells, where they shower, where they eat and then out into the courtyard where they have organised football . 'We don't go everywhere. I think there are four levels — level four being the most dangerous prisoners and we don't go to their area. 'It all becomes very real, I suppose, when you're there. 'You have to be careful what you say and we're told not to ask why they're in but sometimes the lads open up themselves. 'Some of the stories are really sad and humbling. It's an unbelievable experience and makes you grateful for your life, I suppose.' 'NO REGRETS' Desmond is also thankful for how things have worked out in Sacramento where he helped the club to the US Open Cup final — which they lost to He said: 'I have no regrets about coming here. I'm 30 and in the best physical condition I've ever been and the stats back it up. 'That first year when we reached the cup final, I was struggling with injuries and was being put together and rolled out on the pitch. 'I came over with an Achilles problem that I'd had for a few years, off and on, with St Pat's. When I came over, I didn't have a pre-season because my visa was delayed and my Achilles didn't like going straight into games. 'I needed an operation, which I got a week after that final, and then I had more niggles because of it. 'There were so many imbalances in how I walked and ran because of how I compensated for it. But the last while, it's all been good.' 3 Stephen Mallon of Bohemians in action against Lee Desmond of St Patrick's Athletic during the 2021 FAI Cup final Credit: Stephen McCarthy/Sportsfile A new manager — former Wolves and He said: 'Neill worked with 'The club here went all-out to get him out of his contract with Raith and he has been brilliant for us. 'Everything about the club is so professional. The offices downtown have 45 staff, which shows how big the club is, we get anything between 6,000 and 11,000 at games. 'San Jose are nearby in the MLS but they have nothing like the fanbase we have here. 'You do get recognised a bit — a little more than home, so not much! It's nice , it's awkward too but most just want a picture. 'Our new owners want to go to the MLS but it's not easy. It's not like you can go in any year and it's expensive. The focus is on a new stadium before going to the MLS. 'I know I probably won't be here when that happens but they're not taking their foot off the pedal that we're in the USL. It's win, win, win. That's it.' "I'm 30 and in the best physical condition I've ever been and the stats back it up." Lee Desmond After an indifferent start as gaffer, Collins put his stamp on the squad, the Republic have hit form and are well placed in the play-off spots. But Desmond knows there is more work to be done and even more travel . He said: 'The one thing I'll never get used to is the travel as we fly everywhere. 'If we're going to the east coast, we go on a Thursday, but it's the day before games if it's a west coast game. 'But there are not many direct flights from Sacramento to most of the venues so it's often two flights. 'It doesn't take much out of you but they can be long trips. 'Fortunately, it's a good squad. It's not just good players but good people, and you need that when you spend so much time with people. 'But, if I go back to the

Mairéad O'Brien broke with ball on hurl to create a two-on-one before feeding Carton with the perfect pass to rattle Amy Lee's net. That opened up a four-point gap but Cork then began to work their patterns. Saoirse McCarthy proved a magnificent outlet on the left and lofted some lovely scores from play and frees before Sorcha McCartan tied it up. Abby Flynn's point gave business .
