Tyrone beat Laois to win All-Ireland Intermediate title
Tyrone captured their first All-Ireland Ladies Intermediate Football title since 2018 with a 2-16 to 1-13 victory over Laois in Sunday's final at Croke Park. Aoife Horisk and Katie Rose Muldoon scored goals in either half to help the Red Hands avenge last year's agonising one-point decider defeat by Leitrim. Niamh O'Neill top scored for Tyrone with 0-7, while Horisk finished with 1-3. In a tight first half, Laois struck the first goal after 22 minutes when Shifra Havill emphatically fired the ball into the roof of Amelia Coyle's net. Tyrone were initially frustrated in their hunt for goals, being denied first by Laois corner-back Faye McEvoy's goal-line clearance before Sorcha Gormley was denied from the penalty spot. But after Laois carelessly gifted possession back to the Ulster side, Gormley teed up Horisk, who drilled a low shot past Eimear Barry to help give Tyrone a 1-7 to 1-5 half-time lead. Laois kept in touch after the restart with a couple of Mo Nerney points and Fiona Dooley's score, O'Neill and Horisk ensured Tyrone kept a slender Leinster side's hopes of overturning the deficit in the closing stages were dented when Ciara Crowley's yellow card was followed by an O'Neill were a point up when Muldoon delivered the decisive blow, finishing low to the net from close range with six minutes remaining. Having established a more comfortable cushion, O'Neill, Gormley and captain Aoibhinn McHugh sealed a six-point win for scorers: 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.

Tyrone go one better to beat Laois to intermediate title
All-Ireland women's intermediate football 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 title at Croke Park. Having succumbed narrowly to Leitrim in last year's decider, it was Tyrone's turn to celebrate as they finished strongly to 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 earlier. 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. READ MORE It was Tyrone who 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 Faye McEvoy produced a superb goal line clearance at the opposite end, with parity restored soon after through a Niamh O'Neill free. The sides remained level as Emily Lacey and Aoife Horisk traded points by the end of the first quarter before the Ulster side re-established their two-point advantage thanks to Sláine McCarroll and the lively Gormley.

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 10 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 O'Neill 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 10 minutes from full-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. TYRONE: A Coyle; J Lyons, G McKenna, E Quinn; C Campbell, M Mallon, C Canavan; A McHugh (capt, 0-1), S McCarroll (0-1); E McNamee, S Gormley (0-3), A Horisk (1-3, 0-1f); N O'Neill (0-7, 3f), C McCrossan (0-1), M Corrigan. Subs: E McCanny for McCrossan (36 mins), K Muldoon (1-0) for McNamee (45), A McGahan for Campbell (53), C McCaffrey for O'Neill (58), J Barrett for Horisk (59).
