10 YEARS AGO DONAGHMOYNE added to their ever-increasing haul by winning the All-Ireland Ladies Senior Club title for a fourth time. The Monaghan side proved too strong for Cork’s Mourneabbey as they won 0-11 to 0-8 at Parnell Park. It was an emotional day for the club as former chairman Martin Daly had died earlier […]
10 YEARS AGO CROSSMAGLEN made a statement with a four-point Ulster semi-final win over Kilcoo.

10 YEARS AGO THERE were disappointing scenes in Kerry as South Kerry and Killarney Legion drew the county final with a melee breaking out afterwards and referee Séamus Mulvihill requiring a Garda escort off the pitch.

10 YEARS AGO ARMAGH’S hopes of reaching just a second-ever All-Ireland Ladies Senior final were ended by a ruthless Dublin outfit who won 2-16 to 2-5 at Parnell Park.

10 YEARS AGO THE fall-out from ‘rufflegate’ continued with Tyrone confirming that they were appealing the eight-week ban handed out to Tiernan McCann after he hit the deck after being patted on the head by Monaghan’s Darren Hughes in their All-Ireland SFC quarter-final. McCann took a torrent of abuse online and in the press afterwards, […]
10 YEARS AGO FERMANAGH caused one of the shocks of the summer as they finished with a flourish to dump Roscommon out of the championship.

10 YEARS AGO FERMANAGH served notice of their intentions as they hammered Antrim by 13 points in the All-Ireland Qualifiers.
