Derry 3-21 Wexford 4-16
Leitrim 1-20 Waterford 2-9
DERRY HELD OFF Wexford’s second-half fightback to make it seven wins from seven and top Division 4 of the National Football League.
The Oak Leafers led by nine points at the break in Bellaghy after early goals from Benny Heron, Enda Lynn and Ryan Dougan put them up by 3-11 to 1-8.
A Kevin O’Grady penalty five minutes after the restart brought Wexford back within six points and the visitors were given hope when Conor Mulholland was shown a red card with 12 minutes to play.
Barry O’Connor and Ben Brosnan added Wexford’s third and fourth goals, whittling Derry’s lead down to the minimum, but the 14 men clung on for a two-point win with Conor Doherty kicking the final score in additional time.
In Páirc Seán MacDiarmada, Leitrim tuned up for next weekend’s Division 4 final against Derry with a 1-20 to 2-9 win against Waterford.
Ryan O’Rourke’s goal in the 26th minute helped Leitrim into an 11-point lead at the interval, 1-13 to 0-5, and they maintained that margin until the 58th minute when Dylan Guiry’s goal left Waterford trailing by 1-16 to 1-8.
But that was as close as the visitors got with the outcome long put to bed by the time Michael Curry struck for Waterford’s second goal in additional time.

What are ya’s on about who’s paying who ? It’s no advertorial ! Am I the only one surprised and delighted them girls are getting a kit deal worth €60,000 ? I remember in my own county the great Wexford camogie team of the time having to scrimp and save to get a bloody holiday, even though they won an All Ireland, went so far that they done bag packing in Dunnes FFS ! Imagine the men doing that !!! Ladies sport, OK, it’s debatable that it’s not as entertaining as the men’s game but they don’t deserve to be treated as second class citizens ! Fair play girls, f@€( the begrudgers.
Is a yas anything like a yak?
Stay off the internet when you’re drunk like a good lad.
Kieran.. Maybe you should sponsor the Wexford team if you feel so strongly about it..
Maybe I did Marc.
I reckon this piece should be marked as an advertorial for McKeever Sports/thegaastore.com
Fair play to them. Sporting legends and really need to be recognised so…
Yeah Arthur absolute legends known throughout the country
Is that the old style crest? How come the men aren’t allowed use that?
can’t vouch for the ladies team continues with the old crest but I’m fairly sure the men’s team brought out the new crest which was in turn copyrighted by the county board. whatever way you look at it there was money involved.
The crest used here is the coat of arms of Cork City. The Cork GAA teams (i.e. the mens) came up with a new crest a few years back. I assume that because the Ladies Gaelic Football Association is (bizarrely) not a part of the GAA they can’t use it…
Ya Donncha, I know in Tipp and other counties it was a trademark issue and county boards came up with their own makey upey ones and I’d imagine it was money related indeed. Which begs the question are county boards now run like companies just like pro clubs?
Is it just me or does the adidas gear look crap when you know it’s sort of fake
Fake?
@lad I’m pretty sure no one working for adidas apart from the factory workers in Pakistan know about the gear still a great deal though
Bet Anna Geary will be looking savage in it oh & Aisling Thompson too, sexy ladies
@coco expect Ann Geary has retired from inter county playing now..
Free kit for the next three years…..a saving for the cork county board. If its a print (white on the inside) its shit just like the o’neills ones
Yeah the county jerseys are the same price as soccer ones but the county jerseys are poorer quality
Who is paying who for this article
About time the girls got something, they always play better & win more then the guys do.. Cork GAA hasn’t won hurling since 2005 & Football since 2010, shame on them…
Sixty grand wow it must be a really popular game
Jesus that’s ugly.
