Tyrone Up Next For Cork in Qualifiers Saturday July 7th
in Portlaoise at 5.00pm A home game with
Dublin is the prize for victory in the clash be- tween Cork and Tyrone at Portlaoise this com- ing Saturday
evening. Tyrone were in action
last weekend where they saw off the challenge of Cavan. Cork who lost out badly to Kerry in the Munster Final, now have a chance to test themselves against one
of the top sides and if they can get the victory then their season will be very much alive. Tyrone know how to win ugly so Cork must be prepared to slug it
out and attack Tyrone from the off. Players like Colm Kavanagh
and
Mattie Donnelly must be kept quiet if Cork are to win, but victory is cer- tainly within their grasp.
They let themselves
down against a Kerry side that ran riot so I ex- pect a far better showing from cork on this occa- sion. Most of the 15 that started against Kerry
the Curragh the racing world saw the
O’Brien
will probably be given a chance to atone al- though players like Peter Kelleher, Colm O’Neill and Brian Hurley will all be pushing for inclusion. For Cork to win Mark Collins, Luke Connolly, John O’Rourke
along
with team captain Ian Maguire will all have to shine. The prize of a home game with Dub-
ry. Joseph O’Brien, who

lin would fill Pairc Ui Chaoimh, so while Ty- rone are the bookies fa- vourite at 1/3 on I think that at 3/1 Cork are great value and come Saturday
night Cork
football could be back in focus as a win over Tyrone would be a great shot in the arm for the Rebels.
Chasing Their Dreams Cork v Dublin - GAA All-Ireland Minor A Ladies Football Semi-final
What a weekend of
sporting action where the dreams came to an end for Argentina, Spain, Portu- gal and Denmark all who exited the world cup along with the earlier departed holders Germany as the dream is over
for world greats like Andreas Inesta,
Lionel Messi and Chris- tiano Ronaldo, who can now turn to their summer holidays as their dream is over.
On another pitch in St
Conleith’s Park in New- bridge on Saturday night the hopes of Mayo foot- baller’s were dashed for
this year as Kildare ended their dream of winning the Sam Maguire Cup and the Lillywhite’s are now just one win away from the Super 8th
’s which
will happen if they can de- feat Fermanagh. Cork will face Tyrone while Laois meet Monaghan and in
the final pairing Armagh will meet Roscommon with four counties set for their dream to finish next week-end while
winners can enjoy a few more weeks
in
the four the sun
as they go chasing their dream. Just down the road at
family celebrate as son’s Joseph (trainer) Donna- cha (Jockey) took the Irish Derby where Latrobe just got the better of their dad Aidan who had the second Rostropovich and third Saxon Warrior as a super derby finished as a fami- ly affair for the O’Brien’s who saw a dream come through as father and sons celebrated a superb victo-
won the race on Australia and Camelot as a jockey, was providing his younger brother with his first win in the race and in turn, they denied their father Aidan a 13th
Irish Derby
success with his contend- ers Rostropovich and Saxon Warrior a close up second and third. O’Brien was training the winner for Lloyd Williams, who
had also teamed up with the young trainer to win the Melbourne Cup last November with Rekind- ing. Sometimes dreams do come true as Sport brings new heroes every day and last Sunday saw the dreams of
the Cork
hurlers also come true as they retained their Mun- ster Hurling Title
with a
superb win over Clare in Semple Stadium Thurles.
