Limerick retain Munster Senior 'B' title in goal fest against Clare
LIMERICK 4-07 CLARE 4-05 Limerick retained their TG4 Munster Senior B Football Championship title after a highly entertaining game against Clare in Mallow. It was a goal fest throughout, but in the end two late points from Limerick was the difference between the sides, as they ran out just about deserving winners on the day. There were impressive displays all over the pitch for the winners, with Yvonne Lee, Rebecca Delee and Roisin Ambrose the pick of Limerick. A bursting run from Delee set up the opening score for Limerick as she took on the Clare defence to find Caoimhe McNamara who blasted to the corner of the net. With five minutes gone they could have had a second goal, this time Amy Lenihan saved well to deny Roisin Ambrose a green flag. Delee made another great run and this time she put the ball over the bar herself, to make it 1-01 to no score after six minutes. Ambrose added another point before Teresa Collins got Clare's first point, with nine minutes played. They narrowed the deficit to a point after 15 minutes, when Megan Downes pounced on a defensive mistake to score a goal, to make it 1-02 to 1-01. Clare turned the game on its head after 22 minutes, with two goals in a minute as they were now playing some great football. The first was scored by Lucy Shanahan, who was quickest to react after her initial shot was saved and she made sure with the follow-up. From the restart Shanahan regained possession and she played Chloe Moloney in to make it 3-01 to 1-02. Ambrose pulled a point back for Limerick and with three minutes to half time it was the Banner who were in front by 3-01 to 1-03. just before half-time Limerick got their second goal, with Delee playing Cathy Mee in, to make it 3-01 to 2-03 and all to play for in the second half. Two minutes into the second half and the sides were level when Caoimhe McGrath pointed for Limerick. Collins put Clare back in front, but from the restart Limerick got their third goal. Ambrose picked up the ball in the middle of the pitch and drove at the Clare defence. She beat several players before playing Mee in to score, making it 3-04 to 3-02. They could have had another goal, but this time Lenihan made another great save to deny Orla Ryan. Meadhbh MacNamara added a point for Limerick to stretch their lead and with 40 minutes gone it was 3-05 to 3-02 in their favour. But again, Clare responded and after a goalmouth scramble Ellie Hanrahan scored their fourth goal to level it, 4-02 to 3-05. Points from Shanahan and Moloney put Clare in front, before Limerick got their fourth goal to retake the lead, after 49 minutes. A long ball in from Ambrose deceived the Clare defence and bounced into the back of the net, to make it 4-05 to 4-04 in her side's favour. A free from Moloney had Clare back on level terms, before an Ambrose free put Limerick back in front. Delee added another from play, and with two minutes to go it was 4-07 to 4-05 to Limerick. They proved to be the final scores as Limerick retained their title after a game worthy of the final.

2 Las Vegas teens present antisemitism bill at Nevada Legislature in Carson City
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Two Las Vegas high school students helped put antisemitism in the public eye on Monday as they testified at the Nevada Legislature on one bill and helped present another. Ethan Cohen, a 15-year-old sophomore at The Meadows School, and Meyer Delee, a 14-year-old freshman at Las Vegas Academy, testified in Carson City in support of Senate Bill 96 (SB96), which would designate Jan. 27 each year as 'International Holocaust Remembrance Day.' Then they introduced another bill, SB179, which would expand the types of discrimination subject to the authority of the Nevada Equal Rights Commission to include antisemitism. That means investigations into discrimination in housing, jobs and public access would include incidents of antisemitism. For Elliot Malin, a lobbyist for the Anti-Defamation League in Nevada, it was an encouraging sign for the future. Lawmakers took note, as well, complimenting both Cohen and Delee on their work. The brief presentation of SB179 came after Malin helped present SB96. He cited the contributions of youth. 'The Governor's Advisory Council has been very proud to partner with Mr. Ethan Cohen, behind me, who testified in support, who has been driving an initiative as a student at his high school. He is a sophomore in high school to do more to teach about the Holocaust,' Malin said. 'I would be remiss if I did not mention that and the good work of our youth who are here today to come in support, so thank you again,' Malin said. James Ohrenschall, one of the sponsors of SB179, said he has been working with Cohen and Delee for close to a year on the bill. He called them 'two up-and-coming leaders in the Jewish community in Nevada.' Delee, who is from 'a proud agricultural family out of Nye County,' is studying to get his pilot's license, Ohrenschall said. Cohen is a Nevada Youth Legislator, as well as the founder and president of the National Holocaust Youth Council. 'I am an American. I am a Nevadan. And I am a Jew,' Cohen said. 'I have had the unique experience of both witnessing and experiencing the sickening rise of antisemitism and hate in Nevada, and was inspired to come straight to lawmakers to do something about it.' Delee cited four separate antisemitic incidents in the Las Vegas valley, along with statistics that 'According to the Nevada's Advisory Council on Education relating to the Holocaust, a majority of Nevadans can't define antisemitism,' Delee said. The language of the bill sets the definition as 'a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish Individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.' 'Euthanasia pill' proposed as Nevada law after Gov. Lombardo's veto in 2023 The message to the Nevada Legislature is more than some vague concept of a problem that exists somewhere else, according to Malin. 'In this building, I have faced antisemitism. In this building from other lobbyists, I have faced antisemitism, and from members of the community. I remember last session, a bill on the Nazi swastica, and the remarks I was hearing from behind me,' Malin said. 'It saddens me to this day what we see, and make no mistake here, we have seen a 200% increase of antisemitic incidents over the last year per the Anti-Defamation League's statistics. After the Oct. 7 massacre and attack, it was a 374% increase in attacks on Jews in America,' he said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
