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.

I like GAA too! If only I cold find a way to wriggle out of my PAYE obligations, I could then throw out a bit of the cash I’d save to my pet sport and everyone would say I’m a great fella.
@Hibernicus: There’s always one who has nothing good to say.
@Richard Ford: You misunderstood, I am inspired & keen to emulate the great man!
@Hibernicus: the man owns and runs a Swiss based company where he is clearly doing pretty well. This is also where he pays tax. I appreciate that might be a difficult concept to wrap your head around when you’ve likely spent your life in the one village.
@Hibernicus: . Well then please do your very best to do so. All donations gratefully accepted Hibernicus.
@Hibernicus: typical
@Paul Odeier: succinct!
@Hibernicus:you come across as a great fella.revenue are crying out for great fellas
As I said to Shane below, we are a tax haven. Tax avoidance is the way of the world. We gratefully accept multiple billions from corporations who base their headquarters here to avoid tax. We can’t have it both ways. People be careful not to fall off their high horses.
Fantastic balanced journalism from the headline down, exactly why I decided to pay for a subscription.
I look forward to the day when I can stop paying tax like all the smart people and donate an iPad to the club raffle for a gushing write-up in the local paper.
@Shane Griffin: When are you expecting to become one of the smart people?
@Shane Griffin: how do you feel about the fact that Ireland is a tax haven? Do you think we should send back the multiple billions we receive from tax dodging corporations every year???
