THERE WAS GLORY for the Cork hurlers and the Roscommon footballers yesterday as they picked up provincial titles.
The Munster final win in Thurles was a personal triumph for Cork’s Alan Cadogan as he scored 1-4 from play to claim the man-of-the-match award ahead of team-mate Patrick Horgan and Clare’s Colm Galvin.
Douglas player Cadogan pounced for Cork’s only goal of the game in the 11th minute, had 1-2 to his name by half-time and added two further points after the break as Cork withstood a late Clare rally.
In Salthill, Boyle’s Enda Smith was central to Roscommon stunning Galway with his midfield display.
Smith claimed the man-of-the-match award with team-mates Niall Kilroy and Conor Devaney both nominated as well.

Cullen is so so so good, should be premier league. 3 million was an absolute joke of a price
@Sam Murray: yeah, a bit of insider trading by Kompany!
Watch out for dara costelloe….very impressive debut for a 19 year old….both feet ….missed one or two chances but on another day he could have scored a hat trick….gets into great positions….hope stephen kenny was watching ….I will watch his progress with interest….I agree too josh Cullen was a bargain at 3 million….Great game too
Young Costello has come a long way in a short time and he had a very impressive debut . Yes he missed one or two chances through being a tat anxious to score , but this will come with more game time . Best wishes to him going forward , and well done to kompany to give him a debut , but he sees this lad everyday and has that confidence in him .
@Tricksy: I’ve rarely seen a young kid who is completely comfortable on both feet….this gives him a huge advantage and yes…..well done to kompany for putting faith into a very young team….Burnley were amazing last night
@Seamus Kelly: This lad came through the local schoolboy grade in Limerick and went to England after his eighteenth birthday because of Brexit if I’m not mistaken ? But it’s probably not a bad thing being more mature going to a club either . Maybe previously , clubs were in a hurry to sign a lad with potential at a very young age for fear of missing out to another club .
