Cork v Galway in Allianz NFL Saturday Pairc Ui Rinn @ 7.30 pm

Cork will bid to make it three out of three when they welcome Joe Kernan's men to Pairc Ui Rinn on Saturday and in the process will be striving to maintain their impressive record under the lights. Galway's campaign got off to an inauspicious start, a heavy defeat by old rivals Mayo, but they did hit back with a win over Monaghan and will travel south keen to stay in the hunt for a place in the final, where as another loss could see them dragged into a relegation battle.

Hello punters! The history of the Grand National is littered with horses who have been ridden to glorious victory by amateur or gentleman riders. In the olden days most of these riders were aristocratic, and their family members were not averse to having a sporting bet on their own man to finish in front of their closest local rival, even when not winning the race.

New Cork City manager Tommy Dunne has admitted that it is touch and go whether the new League of Ireland club on Leeside, Cork City FORAS Co-Op, will be able to field a team in the Airtricity First Division game against Derry City tomorrow (Friday) night.

Limerick 1-14
Cork 2-21
AS expected, Cork secured their second successive win in Allianz NHL Division 1, getting the better of Limerick at the Gaelic Grounds last Saturday night.

Second-half tries from skipper Peter O'Mahony and centre Tom Gleeson saw Munster come from 12 points down at the interval to run out 21-12 winners against Neath in the British & Irish Cup at The Gnoll last weekend. Munster were forced to re-jig their starting lineup when sickness forced Dave Foley to withdraw close to the game.

Defending champions Cork collected their first Bord Gáis Energy Ladies National Football League victory of the season at the expense of Munster rivals Kerry on Sunday. Cork ran out 1-16 to 1-9 winners against the Kingdom but the visitors put up a spirited display and trailed by just two points at half-time.

Shannon 16
UCC 21
In an exciting ODM Munster Senior Cup tie at Rosbrien on Sunday UCC booked their place in the final with a 21-16 win over Shannon. The sides were level 11-11 each at half time with Luke O'Dee scoring a try for Shannon and Mossie Lawlor kicking two penalties.

With many competitors already in training ahead of this June’s Bord Gais Energy Cork City Marathon Cork, it has emerged that the course will be changed this year. It is hoped this will be change for the good as the organizers are changing the race course in 2010, taking out the punishing hills to make it flatter and more enjoyable for all those taking part.

With this weekend's Sigerson Cup finals on the horizon, UCC received a boost when Paul Honohan received a Cadbury Football Scholarship last week. The Cadbury Football Scholarships are awarded in recognition of the sporting potential of U-21 footballers attending various universities in Ireland.
