Paddy McCormack the two-goal hero as Tipperary crowned All-Ireland U20 hurling champions with impressive win vs Kilkenny
PADDY McCORMACK was Tipperary's two-goal hero as they saw off Kilkenny at Nowlan Park in the All- Ireland Under-20 final. McCormack blasted 2-1 before Conor Martin's clincher completed his 1-4 tally in front of 14,455 fans on Noreside. Marty Murphy bagged a consolation goal in stoppage time for the Cats.

Not Bulgari: Meet the indie designer behind Zendaya's dazzling engagement ring
When Zendaya took to the Golden Globes carpet this year with a very large and very sparkly engagement ring, the internet was soon abuzz with questions over who had designed it. It wasn't Bulgari, the Italian jewellery house for whom Zendaya is a brand ambassador. Nor was it a big name brand owned by a luxury conglomerate. Instead, the ring, a 5.02-carat diamond in a slightly quirky Georgian-style setting, was the work of Jessica McCormack, a New Zealand-born designer who has become a go-to for cool 'day diamonds' by the likes of Dakota Johnson and Dua Lipa – and a growing fan base of wealthy women who don't believe their sparkles should languish in the safe. 'What's the point in that?' McCormack said last week from an armchair in her first store in the US, which opened recently on Madison Avenue in Manhattan. 'There's no joy if you can't see them and others can't enjoy them on you.' McCormack, who speaks with a friendly Kiwi twang, wore a fuzzy grey cardigan, old deck shoes, white socks with red hearts and diamonds. Lots of them, in fact, shimmering on her ears, neck and wrists as workers put the finishing touches on the wood-paneled beaux-arts town house designed by restoration architectural firm Johnston Cave Associates. Jessica McCormack had no formal design training prior to starting her brand. Photo: Instagram/Jessica McCormack 'My whole idea is of relaxed ease and fitting into your daily life,' she said. 'It's about functionality and fantasy, making jewels that are fun and cool but wearable and that just make you incredibly happy every time you look in the mirror.' Read more: Jewellery of English aristocracy and Hollywood royalty set for London exhibition McCormack had no formal design training. But her father, an art and antiques dealer, helped hone a magpie's eye for vintage treasures and craftsmanship. There followed a stint in Sotheby's fine jewellery department in London, where her appreciation for vintage pieces grew as she handled Russian crown jewels alongside Cartier and Lalique pieces from the 1920s. After some experimentation designing pieces in an antique-meets-modern aesthetic, she started her namesake brand in 2008, with debut pieces like her Wings of Desire earrings, a sweep of graduated diamonds that climb up the ear and caught the eye of Rihanna, who became one of her first customers. Other cult pieces, spotted on Zoe Kravitz, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Adele, Meghan Markle, Victoria Beckham and Margot Robbie, include her Gypset earrings, little hoops with suspended Georgian-style button-back diamonds, sapphires, emeralds or rubies that are highly covetable (and widely imitated). Her Ball N Chain necklace can be layered with assorted diamond pendants in an array of cuts and prices. Some could come from McCormack's latest Fruit Salad collection – that is, peaches, pears, apples, cherries and lemons made out of intricately set pave gemstones and 18-karat gold. The pieces strike a balance between looking at home on the red carpet and being trendy, easy-breezy accessories to wear for drinks or on the school run (albeit for the rarefied few who wouldn't think twice about wearing a seven-carat rock with a T-shirt and jeans). 'The appeal of Jessica McCormack's pieces is their distinct unfussiness coupled with plenty of charm and fun,' said Daisy Shaw-Ellis, US Vogue 's jewellery director. 'She has modernised antique and vintage designs and pushed the boundaries with expected materials without losing their integrity.' A major weapon in McCormack's arsenal are her investors. Rachel Slack is of the Oppenheimer dynasty, and Michael Rosenfeld is a third-generation diamantaire. At the time when the ring made an appearance on Zendaya's finger, everyone was questioning who designed it. Photo: AFP Last year, Lingotto, an investment firm owned by the Agnelli family's holding company, Exor, also took a stake. They all hail from family businesses that understand the eccentricities and complexities of the long game in luxury jewellery, unlike many venture capitalists who often invest in brands to make a quick profit, only to be left sorely disappointed. Their steady backing has allowed McCormack to take some big risks. A five-story Mayfair town house opened in 2013 opposite the Connaught hotel on Carlos Place in London (and a new neighbor in Phoebe Philo is rumoured to be opening a flagship next door). Part retail store, part basement workshop where clients can watch craftspeople at work, the space features an ever-evolving rotation of books, art, furniture and curiosities that both shape and reflect McCormack's taste. It is a formula she looked to replicate when opening her New York store. Or, in her words, 'a homely place full of interesting bits and bobs and genres and styles that really make you think and drive home the personality of our brand'. Think multicoloured drink trays by Matilda Goad, Nina Campbell glassware, antique 19th-century Maori portraits, Christopher Moore wallpapers, Jilly Cooper novels, family photos, upholstered sofas by Robert Kime and artwork, including a giant Valerie Belin photograph that came from her own kitchen in London. Upstairs are vintage wooden boxes that McCormack likes to transform into jewellery cases, with secret embroidered compartments and personalised messages inside. Read more: Make the right choice – the right jewellery can elevate your entire look 'The vast majority of our sales are done in person,' said Leonie Brantberg, the company's CEO. 'As we establish ourselves in a new market, we feel it's critical to have our own spaces where we can express this DNA and build direct relationships with our clients.' The brand has quadrupled in size over the last four years, Brantberg said, with sales of US$50mil (approximately RM212mil) last year. Half of the clients are women buying for themselves. Given McCormack's extensive Hollywood clientele, she is now looking west and may open a store in Los Angeles next year. US customers, she said, tend to buy more and buy faster and now make up more than a third of sales. She wants to meet them where they are. 'Not going the wholesale route was a slower path, but it means I really understand who I am selling to,' McCormack said. 'And while we love our male customers, my business is incredibly female-driven, and I absolutely love that. It's not about your husband buying it for you.' – ©2025 The New York Times Company This article originally appeared in The New York Times.

McCormack the hero as Tipperary beat Kilkenny to claim All-Ireland glory
All-Ireland U20 Hurling Championship final Tipperary 3-19 Kilkenny 1-16 Stephen Barry reports from UPMC Nowlan Park AFTER THE heartbreak of missing their All-Ireland U20 final defeat last year, Paddy McCormack was Tipperary's goal-scoring hero in a nine-point victory over Kilkenny. In a game dictated by the wind, all three goals arrived in the second half. McCormack blasted 2-1, and Conor Martin's clincher completed his 1-4 tally in front of 14,455 fans at Nowlan Park. The Premier's first U20 success since 2019, and 12th in total, moves them level with Kilkenny in second spot on the roll of honour. Nowlan Park has become a happy hunting ground for Tipp teams, adding this U20 crown to the minor titles won here in 2022 and '24. 30 years after he first lifted the trophy, Brendan Cummins completed the double of winning the James Nowlan Cup as both a player and manager. The wind strength was emphasised by Kilkenny's first two pointed frees. Both times, Tipp were penalised for thrown passes. Michael Brennan came back inside his own half and converted each one. He would end with 0-11 to his name. But even with the conditions, the Cats were set up to contain Tipp, rather than build a score. The Premier puck-out wasn't stressed as they retained 100%. Martin scored the first point from play to level. Advertisement When Kilkenny did get back into Marty Murphy, he caused trouble. He caught one garryowen for a point and in the next play, lost his marker for a shot at goal, which Eoin Horgan saved. Oisín O'Donoghue and Brennan traded points before Tipp threaded together five on the spin. O'Donoghue was fouled for 1-4 in the Munster final, and he won two quickfire frees for Darragh McCarthy points. In between, the Cashel targetman notched a point of his own. When Cathal English and McCormack arrowed over, they led 0-8 to 0-4 after 22 minutes. Kilkenny picked their way back into the contest with four of the next five points, including three Brennan frees. Jeff Neary had picked up plenty of ball in a sweeping role, but he got further upfield to split the posts. They sought a leveller, but Adam Daly sent Tipp in with a 0-10 to 0-8 advantage. Martin got them up and running with the second-half breeze straight from the throw-in. Brennan and Murphy kept Kilkenny in contact, either side of an O'Donoghue sideline cut and Sam O'Farrell's long-range effort. In the 38th minute, Tipp couldn't be contained any further. In the battle for possession under a long puck-out, McCormack swept onto the loose sliotar, sidestepped towards goal, and bounced his finish to the net. A long-range Daly point made it 1-14 to 0-10. Four Brennan points kept Kilkenny's faint hopes alive as far as the 51st minute. Then, O'Donoghue turned over Neary and fed McCormack for a low finish, to lead 2-17 to 0-14. And in the 56th minute, Martin secured a turnover before finishing off the move after taking the final pass from McCarthy. Kilkenny went for goal in stoppage time, netting one when Murphy grabbed a high ball and drove it to the net.
