gaelic footballChampionship favourites Burrishoole reinstated their title-winning tag with a comprehensive victory over Cill Chomain in Crossmolina on Saturday.
The Newport men produced an incredible performance to rally past their shell-shocked opponents who couldn't subdue the prowess and sheer class of the Burrishoole attack.
The green and white men were flawless and it was clear right from the start that they meat business. Jason Doherty got the first three scores (two frees) for Colm McManamon's troops, before Enda McManamon, Michael Moran and Patrick Mulchrone all raised

ballBreaffy, who looked a beaten side when they drifted seven points behind, staged a remarkable second-half recovery to come within a point of Castlebar Mitchels and seemingly on course for a deserved draw, only to be denied at the death.
A point from Neil Douglas in injury time proved to be priceless as Breaffy were breathing down the neck of a Castlebar Mitchels side that will hardly need reminding

pitchIt was always going to take an exceptional performance of sheer guts and determination if Shrule-Glencorrib were going to overcome warm favourites and defending champions Charlestown in this quarterfinal at McHale Park on Sunday.
The south Mayo side found such a performance when they dug deep in the second half of what was undoubtedly the best, if not the most bizarre, of the four senior quarterfinals at the weekend.

Michael Duffy's goal on the stroke of half time had Town in control for most of the second half but Dessie Campbell stunned the champions with a screamer of an equaliser with just 14 minutes to go.
niall kitching claremorris afcClaremorris turned on the style in Concannon Park on Sunday to record an eight goals to one victory over luckless Kilmore in their final home league game of a remarkable season.
Brian Gallagher was the star of the show, scoring four of the goals and claiming one assist in a fine overall display.
But there were others to catch the eye in what was a dominant display over the Erris men.
