Stocking fillers
Sport may have been badly hit by the pandemic in the past two years but the Galway GAA Annual, in the shops this weekend, has 124 pages of reviews, features, tributes, trips down memory lane and spectacular photographs.
It all makes for compelling reading through the festive season. And, as a double-issue (2021 and 2020), it will serve to remind Gaelic Games followers that much more happened in competitive sport since March of last year than everybody thought would be possible.
It is priced at €10.
# LATEST FIXTURES AND RESULTS
Well done to our U20 management and team on their Semi Final victory over Skehana/Mountbellew/Moylough on a score line of 1:12 - 0:11.
They play Loughrea in the final which is provisionally fixed for next weekend, Sunday 19th.
Brooks Senior Championship
St Thomas has made history in winning the Brooks County Senior Hurling Championship after beating Clarinbridge in Pearse Stadium by three points.
They have become the first team to win four County Senior Titles since Turloughmore did it in 1964 on their way to win six in a row.
GOOD LUCK

ALL-IRELAND SEMI-FINAL (2020)
A strong representation of McGraths contributed heavily to both sides but it was the Sarsfields contingent that was celebrating at Ray Kelly’s final whistle, the AIB All-Ireland senior club camogie champions booking a place in the delayed 2020/2021 decider at Nowlan Park next Saturday by virtue of a 0-11 to 0-4 triumph over Drom & Inch in Edenderry.
Siobhán McGrath excelled both from placed balls and play, contributing seven of the winners’ tally. Sister Orlaith was the provider on a couple of occasions and also weighed in with a brace while another sibling, Niamh played a captain’s part despite a niggling hamstring injury, getting on a mountain of ball and converting a long-distance free for good measure.
Their father, Michael ‘Hopper’ McGrath made a number of substitutions in the last quarter as Sarsfields exerted their control and one of his subs, Rachel Murray illustrated the depth in the squad with a fantastic score off the stick after a pacy solo run.
It was a disappointing ending for Drom & Inch after some early promise, as they trailed by just a point at half-time, 0-3 to 0-2, having gone toe-to-toe with the titleholders.
With Aoife McGrath showing strong leadership and her sister Eimear responsible for the Tipp side’s scores – though that she was responsible for all four in the end was telling – a surprise result seemed possible.
Eimear levelled almost immediately after the resumption from a 45 but by the time she split the posts next, it was almost the last act of the game and Sarsfields had disappeared into the horizon.
The heavy rain played a significant part in the low scoring of the first half but credit should go to the defences too. Mairead Eviston in particular did a good job for Drom/Inch but as the game wore on, Maria Cooney, Laura Ward and Tara Cooney became dominant for the Galway crew.
There was only one goal chance in the game and that arrived after 12 minutes, when Siobhán McGrath’s penalty was saved brilliantly by Caoimhe Bourke. It was about the only thing the apex predator got wrong for the rest of the affair, really opening up along with her sisters in the second half.
She raised white flags either side of a point from Orlaith in response to the Drom/Inch equalisier to make it 6-3 at the water break, the ploy of moving further out to supplement the battle for possession while also providing more space for the elite forwards paying dividends.
As the rain abated, the wind picked up and if anything, favoured Sarsfields, when Drom/Inch needed all the help they could get. Five more points from the McGraths – Siobhán (two), Orlaith and Niamh – and Murray’s exquisite contribution from the bench removed all doubt.
Sarsfields can now put their feet up as they await the winners of tomorrow’s semi-final between old rivals Slaughtneil (Derry) and Oulart-The Ballagh.
