GAA tighten belts
WEXFORD G.A.A. is no different to other units of the Association when it comes to financial difficulties, and the need to bring in major cuts relating to the preparations of their county teams. Earlier this year County Board officers set a system in place regarding expenditure and budgets for their backroom set-ups with the various county sides, but now they have taken the measures a step further.
Footballers folded
FORGET THE result at Tinryland on Sunday; neither county would be chuffed with an O'Byrne Shield medal - indeed, not even a Cup victory - but the elation of the home triumph was of more morale importance in view of their upcoming NFL date with Wicklow in Aughrim on Sunday next. The final was more of a probe into the value of the second string rather than scooping worthless silver, and for 35 minutes the Barrowsiders looked more suited to a Junior competition than Leinster Senior challengers.

Murphy Cup news

Gorey pipped in stormy affair
BEFORE A ball was kicked, there was tension in the damp air around the Portlaoise club venue on Friday last when Gorey Community School took on the local C.B.S. in the South Leinster Senior football 'B' final.
Mary's take South Leinster
