Hurlers meet Clare in Munster Championship

It promises to be another exciting day of action in the Munster Senior Hurling Championship with both final round matches taking place simultaneously as the race for a place in the provincial final reaches its conclusion.

And then there were three — with Cork, Limerick and Clare all already assured of progression to the All-Ireland series, the focus now turns to who will secure a place in the Munster final.

The Rebels remain in the driving seat having won all three of their games to date. Another win — or even a draw — will guarantee their place in the provincial showpiece, while Clare will need a strong performance to overturn the table scenario and keep their final hopes alive.

It promises to be a dramatic finale to the round-robin stage, with both fixtures starting at the same time and every score potentially decisive.

Footballers face Meath in All-Ireland Championship Round 1

This weekend marks the start of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Round 1, with Cork returning to championship action full of confidence after a positive and encouraging season to date.

John Cleary’s side have already shown clear progress in 2026, securing promotion in the league and reaching a first Munster final in five years — a strong platform that now sets the tone for the championship ahead. While last time out brought disappointment against Kerry, Cork’s overall trajectory remains firmly upward, with performances consistently improving across the campaign.

Attention now turns to this weekend’s Round 1 clash with Meath , a familiar opponent having already met the Rebels twice this season. Each side has one win apiece, adding extra intrigue to a third meeting that carries far greater significance on the championship stage.

The game throws in at 5.30pm on Saturday, May 23, with a place in Round 2a of the All-Ireland series awaiting the winners. .
