Marc Ó Sé and Listowel crowned Munster champions as Thomastown clinch Leinster title

There were provincial titles up for grabs in football and hurling today.

KERRY’S LISTOWEL EMMETTS have won the Munster JFC title after a low-scoring battle with Kilmurry of Cork, while Kilkenny’s Thomastown are Leinster IHC champions.

The Listowel outfit, who have Kerry legend Marc Ó Sé in their management team, clinched a four-point victory against a Kilmurry side who finished the game with 14 players.  

Kilmurry lost midfielder Kyle Kelleher to a second yellow card as they suffered back-to-back provincial final defeats. They finished with a tally of 1-2, with substitute Greg Barrett providing their goal late in the second half. 

Sam Tarrant top-scored for the winners with three frees while David Keane and Seán Keane also chipped in with frees to help Listowel to the Munster summit.

Two clubs from Kilkenny secured provincial success today as Tullogher Rosbercon won the Leinster JHC decider to go alongside Thomastown’s joy in the intermediate competition. 

Thomastown dominated Bray Emmets of Wicklow to win by 2-22 to 1-9, the goals coming from Luke Connellan and Thomas O’Hanrahan. Robbie Donnelly helped himself to 13 points, including seven frees as the Cats team outgunned the Wicklow five-in-a-row champions.

Tullogher prevailed against Offaly’s Carrig & Riverstown after Kilkenny star Walter Walsh got them off the mark with an early goal. They were 1-7 to 0-7 in front at half-time before Marty Murphy added a second goal for the winners shortly after the restart to help push them out of sight.

Meanwhile, Arva of Cavan won the Ulster JFC Twinning Final after accounting for London’s Wandsworth Gaels by 2-8 to 1-3.

    They obviously didn’t see the series that Ross Kemp did on football hooligans a couple of years ago. In Ukraine it’s even worse and I’m afraid that this whole event could be marred by hooliganism and some blatant corruption in Ukraine. I’m no great follower of soccer or rugby but I always give a wry smile when I see rugby fans having a beer and while watching the game and then socialising with the opposing team afterwards. Try doing that with soccer and you would get a full scale riot!

    I’d imagine that someone will have to die before Uefa or Fifa act. All they care about is money. They come out now and admit there’s a potentially huge issue with racism at this tournament and sponsors walk, with their money of course. And we couldn’t be having that :)

    Hear no evil, see no evil. UEFA unfortunately could seriously regret holding the tournament in Poland/Ukraine. Wait until Poland play Russia, there will be blood on the streets, no question. This could be the biggest own goal in UEFAs history.

    BBC Panorama did a documentary on hooligans in Ukraine a couple of weeks back that showed training camps where they were taught hand to hand combat and how to use knives. You also have to factor in that most of these thugs have at least one years compulsory military service behind them. Throw in some not so distant history and I would say that your assessment of blood on the streets will be borne out. If I was a local I’d board up my house and head for the hills sharpish.

    @Brian Ward. I saw it, frightening. Also reportedly, Polish hooligans have made a pact with their Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian counterparts at a “meeting” in Gdansk to join forces to take on the Russians and Germans for “historical” reasons. The football could be a sideshow yet.

    This is just the beginning. Get ready for the Daily Hate british media going nuts everyday of the euros. They will bring up and make up all sorts of stuff. They have got their teeth in to this now and they wont let go. Anyway ‘kick racism out of football’. Sickening this continues to go on. Uneducated minority of moronic pigs trying to ruin everything.

    To be fair it’s not like English fans have covered themselves in glory over the years. The police have already issued 2,000+ travel ban orders to stop potential hooligans travelling. Even though it’s only a small minority they tarnish their nation and the true English fans with their racist chants and violence. Begrudgy is right in saying that the British press will make the most of it, it will sell newspapers and that is all that they are interested in.

    This for me is the biggest worry for Irish fans. They have been called legitimate targets by polish football firms. I urge all fans going to Poland to be careful. It is not safe there.

    Poland and Ukraine need diversity. Diversity will enrich there lives and make them more tolerant. White people are just so backwards. Ukraine and Poland, whether they like it or not, are going to become multi-racial countries. There is nothing they can do to stop it. It will make them better people and improve their countries.

    Interesting logic. Funny, if your post was in reverse it could be deemed as “racist” by the “right on” brigade. I dont think diversity will honestly solve this problem. They are unfortunately where the rest of European Football was in the 70s/80s so they are a long way off addressing the problem by my calculations…
