ST MARY’S OF Caherciveen are into the final of the Munster club intermediate football championship after an extremely comfortable semi-final win today on home ground.
The Kerry champions, who are managed by Kingdom legend Maurice Fitzgerald, recorded a 4-21 to 0-1 victory over Clare champions Corofin.
Corofin had to wait until the very last minute to get their only score of the game, with Damien Ryan pointing a free on a day to forget for the men from the Banner County.
With the wind at their backs in the first-half, St Mary’s took full advantage and raced into a 2-13 to 0-0 lead at the interval, with the goals coming from Dan Daly and Niall O’Driscoll.
But things didn’t get much better for Corofin after the break as Conor O’Shea found the net for Mary’s for a third time within two minutes of the restart, before Paul O’Donoghue added a fourth just four minutes later.
Nine different players were among the scores for St Mary’s, with Dan Daly leading the way with 1-6. There was 1-3 for Paul O’Donoghue, 1-2 for Niall O’Driscoll and 0-4 for Kerry star Bryan Sheehan.
St Mary’s will go on to play Carrigaline or Oola in the final on 29 November. The Cork and Limerick champions are due to meet in tomorrow’s second semi-final.
For several of the Mary’s players it will be their 10th consecutive weekend of championship action, as they’re also involved with South Kerry, who play Killarney Legion in the Kerry County SFC final replay a week tomorrow.
Is that really worthy of an article?
@Teddyzigzagbigbag: Yes, yes it is. Discrimination should always be challenged snd it should be highlighted that someone in his position had the balls & awareness to so.
Nonsense. I think it was a ridiculous thing to comeback and say. The journalist quite clearly meant men’s tennis, the competition that Murray competes in. Can’t believe he’s gettin credited for this.
@Matthew Thompson: Exactly. He was just being pedantic and knows the feminists and PC police would lap it up. Anymore of this carry on and he can get the snip and join the WTA.
@Matthew Thompson: he’s no longer Scottish now he has lost
He’s British again
Why didn’t he also clarify what underage or senior American players have made the semis since 2009? Soooo ageist.
@Dermot Byrne: what about the Bryan Brothers? Sooo quantityist
Really is there any need to post this tripe on the 42. Fair enough on the primarkesque teenage girl feminist blog that the Daily Edge has become…
Unfair on the journalist, it’s the same as saying the USA have never won the World Cup in an interview after a mans game.
Holy shyte, What a complete non-story. Of course the reporter ment “Male Player” It was implied in the context of the situation, Men’s Tennis. Does anyone serious think this reporter doesn’t know of Serena Williams or that he intended any disrespect whatsoever?
Murray, a totally uncharismatic guy deflecting attention away from his loss which he claims was down to hip injury but the previos day claimed was not an issue. Good luck to him, his Mammy is proud of him!
There’s an article further down the page about Chris Martin from Coldplay visiting a gym in Dublin… why are you’s not over there banging on about articles being irrelevant??
I like Murray even less now.
Andy Murray. The only sports personality that makes steve Davies look like a party animal. Paint drying is more exciting to watch than Murray in an interview. A complete plonker Rodney. Correcting the journalist was complete nonsense..the subject was clear as day..mens singles. .
Well, unsurprisingly a bunch of people on here giving out stink about this, as there always is. I personally was delighted to see AM make this point. Don’t care if you call me a “feminazi” or PC pedant.
I’m fine with his comment but not so much the holier-than-thou article making a big deal of it.
What a stupid article…and Murray just being an arrogant knobhead. Reporter was asking a simple question…
@Kev Creed: what a stupid comment kev are you being an arrogant knob head? just asking a simple question
