The Harps’ Podge Delaney on winning their maiden Laois hurling title: ‘it’s impossible to put this feeling into words, it’s just absolutely unbelievable, I never thought I’d see this day.’

Coming of age moment for The Harps, 16 point winners over Camross to land their first ever Laois SHC title. Ken Hogan leads The Harps to a first crown, having also been manager for Borris Kilcotton’s maiden Laois title. He’s also won Offaly SHCs with three clubs.

Lough Lene Gaels have won their first Westmeath hurling title in 24 years. Had lost the last three finals but got over the line against Raharney this afternoon. Huge particularly for their veteran players like Derek McNicholas, Noel Conaty and Tommy Doyle.

Four Offaly hurling titles in-a-row for Kilcormac Killoughey, and 8th since their maiden win in 2012. Have contested 13 finals in the last 20 years (think Conor Mahon and Damien Kilmartin played in all of them).

Favourite save of Murphy’s inter county career. Love the gasp from the crowd when the replay was on the screens. 🐱

One of the greatest to ever do it. What a brilliant goalkeeper.
Dreamt it - Lived it - Loved it! I’ve made the decision to retire from the Kilkenny senior hurling team. For more than half of my life I had the honour of playing with Kilkenny through minor, U21 and senior. I’ve been lucky to be part of some incredible teams and to play

John Horan’s own club, Na Fianna, has a one club model and 3,000 members. He’s definitely well placed to chair the steering group.

GAA is considering two different schedule proposals for next year’s McDonagh Cup. First would see the final continuing to be paired with the Leinster Hurling final. The second would push final back to the weekend of the All-Ireland semis (would shift the whole competition).

Parrott’s first goal was simply outstanding; think Adam Idah helps to get the best out of him as a strike partner too. Jack Moylan again quite impressive tonight.
