UCC Demons 70
Killester 73
UCC Demons let an eleven point half-time lead against their National Cup conquerors Killester slip last weekend at the Parochial Hall. While UCC Demons were heavily beaten in that National Cup final, this was never going to be the same game.

WIT 0-11
UCC 1-6
Waterford IT retained the Ashbourne Cup as they had two points to spare over UCC in the final at Cork IT last weekend.

Cork 1-22
Offaly 1-11
Just the start Denis Walsh was looking for as Cork easily overcame Offaly in the opening round of the NHL at Páirc Uí Chaoimh last Sunday.

Cork v Limerick Saturday in Gaelic Grounds @ 7.30 pm
The difficulties that Limerick are facing makes the task of retaining their Division 1 status a tough one and while they put up a gallant display against Galway, the end result was a defeat, and another to Cork will just add a bit more pressure on coach Justin McCarthy.

Hello punters!
In this week's memory slot, I will endeavour to have a look at the Aintree exploits of jockey/trainer Fred Winter, with particular attention to his record in the Grand National, both as a jockey and a trainer, for his outstandingly consistent history in this race would lie right up there with the very best racing people of all time, talentwise and everywise.

Munster 17
Edinburgh 12
Munster were made fight all the way to defeat a gallant Edinburgh in a mistake ridden match at Musgrave Park last Friday night.

Glanmire AOS Security U-18 and U-20 teams were honoured last week as winners of the North City Sports Awards, which are sponsored by the Ambassador Hotel, with trophies supplied by Garry McCarthy trophies. Special guests on the night were Lord Mayor Cllr Dara Murphy, Deputy County Mayor Cllr Gerry Kelly and Timmy Murphy, National President of Basketball Ireland.

Division 3
Midleton 26
Connemara All Blacks 12
After last week's surprise draw to Rainey Old Boys, Midleton got back to winning ways with a fine win over a good Connemara side.

The anger and intense frustration expressed by the Quintas Group in the wake of their failure to rescue Cork City FC is understandable. I can state without any fear of contradiction that this anger and frustration is reflective of the collective fury of the City supporters as they see their beloved club propelled into history. This debacle should never have occurred. It was avoidable.

Dedpite limited action in the top two divisions of the AIB All-Ireland Leagues, there was still plenty of action for Cork teams over the weekend. Clonakilty won the big local derby relegation clash with Highfield in the Second Division of the league as Midleton's lead at the top of Division Three was whittled down to a point.
