Paula Doherty Elected First Female President of GAA Rounders

Paula Doherty, from Castlebar, Co Mayo, has been elected as the first female President of GAA Rounders — a landmark moment for the sport and a hugely popular appointment across the country. A current All-Star and a key member of the dominant Breaffy Senior Ladies team that won four All-Ireland titles in a row, Paula brings both on-field success and deep administrative experience to the role.

Outside of Rounders, she works in education as Programme Director in St Angela’s College, Sligo, where her background in leadership, organisation, and student support has shaped her reputation for calm, steady, and practical decision-making.

Over the past decade she has become one of the most respected figures in the sport, contributing to juvenile development, national structures, and club growth, while earning widespread trust from volunteers and clubs alike.

Accepting the role, Paula kept her message grounded and focused on the people who drive the sport forward:

“It’s a privilege to take on this position. My only aim is to do right by the clubs, the volunteers, and the players who keep this sport alive every single week.”

While acknowledging the significance of her election, she was quick to place the emphasis back on the work ahead:

“Being the first woman to hold the role is something I’m proud of. But what matters now is the work. Titles are one thing — getting things done is another.”

Drawing on themes she discussed in her interview, Paula highlighted structure, communication, and stability as the central priorities of her presidency:

“People want clarity, consistency, and respect. If we get our systems right — fixtures, communication, development, refereeing — everything else will follow.”

She also emphasised the need to rebuild trust and support the growing number of clubs nationwide:

“This sport has huge potential, but potential only becomes progress when everyone feels listened to. That’s the standard I’m setting for myself and for the Association.”

Paula closed her speech by thanking those who encouraged her to step forward:

“I didn’t put myself into this lightly. I care about Rounders, and I’ll give the job everything I have.”

Her election has been warmly welcomed, with clubs across the country viewing her presidency as a fresh chapter and a steadying influence at a key moment for the sport.

Provincial Club GAA Weekend Review – St Martin’s Shock Na Fianna, Commercials Dominate, St Finbarr’s Advance

Provincial Club GAA Weekend Review – St Martin’s Shock Na Fianna, Commercials Dominate, St Finbarr’s Advance

By SportsNewsIreland / GAA Provincial Round-Up

It was a dramatic and action-packed weekend of GAA provincial club championship action across Ireland, with several major stories emerging.
St Martin’s produced the biggest shock of the season by knocking out reigning All-Ireland club hurling champions Na Fianna,
while Clonmel Commercials coasted to yet another Tipperary Senior Football Championship title.
In Munster, St Finbarr’s booked their place in the Munster Senior Camogie Final,
Naas pushed on to the Leinster Hurling semi-finals,
and the dual warriors of Éire Óg Ennis kept their extraordinary season alive on two fronts.

Quinlivan Leads Clonmel Commercials to 22nd Tipperary SFC Title

Michael Quinlivan produced a brilliant display, scoring a superb goal as Clonmel Commercials
dismantled Kilsheelan–Kilcash 1-26 to 1-5 in the Tipperary Senior Football Championship final.
The win gives Commercials their 22nd county title, moving them ahead of Fethard on the historic roll of honour.

Tommy Morrissey’s side, inspired by All-Ireland hurling winner Peter McGarry, led by only three at half-time but completely
dominated the second half. The victory carried emotional weight as the players dedicated the title to the late Philly Ryan,
known as “Mr Commercials”. His son Shane played in goal in a poignant moment for the club.

Quinlivan, Seamus Kennedy, Cian Smith, and Seán O’Connor — who hit 0-6 each — all starred, setting up a huge Munster quarter-final clash
with St Finbarr’s next weekend.

Sorcha McCartan Fires St Finbarr’s into Munster Camogie Final

Cork’s two-time All-Ireland winner Sorcha McCartan delivered a match-winning performance, hitting 1-9 to help
St Finbarr’s defeat Newcastlewest and qualify for their first Munster Senior Camogie Final.

Newcastlewest forced extra time with a brilliant late goal from Kate Ambrose — who finished with an extraordinary 2-7 — but
the Barrs kept their composure. Cork star Orlaith Cahalane chipped in with 0-3, and McCartan sealed the win with the final point in a
high-scoring 2-19 to 3-14 thriller.

The Cork champions now face De La Salle after the Waterford side overcame Thurles Sarsfields in the opposite semi-final.

Jack Sheridan Shines as Naas March into Leinster Hurling Semi-Finals

Naas continued their impressive provincial run with a 2-17 to 1-17 victory over Mount Leinster Rangers in the
Leinster club hurling championship.

The sides were level at half-time, but Jack Sheridan’s expertly taken goal pushed Naas five points clear on 41 minutes.
Rangers’ hopes faded further when talisman Chris Nolan received a second yellow card.

Kevin McDonald’s late goal narrowed the gap, but Simon Leacy’s fourth point from play steadied Naas and sealed a semi-final
showdown with St Martin’s of Wexford.

Barry O’Connor’s Goal Helps St Martin’s Upset Na Fianna

In the headline story of the weekend, St Martin’s produced a stunning 1-21 to 2-17 victory to eliminate
All-Ireland champions Na Fianna in the Leinster hurling championship.

Barry O’Connor’s decisive 49th-minute goal — cleverly set up by his cousin Rory — proved the momentum-shifter. The former AFL player finished
clinically to punish Na Fianna, who have been surviving on razor-thin margins all season.

Despite goals from AJ Murphy and Seán Currie, Na Fianna could not hold off a late surge, as
Dáithí Hayes’ men landed the final three points in injury time. Jack, Rory, and Barry O’Connor all contributed in a historic win.

McInerney Masterclass Keeps Éire Óg Ennis Alive in Both Codes

Éire Óg Ennis continued their outstanding dual-code season with a 0-20 to 1-13 victory over Rathgormack in the
Munster senior football quarter-final.

Clare star Mark McInerney hit an incredible 0-16, including four two-pointers, to carry the Ennis side despite
an early goal from Rathgormack’s Stephen Curry.

Éire Óg’s remarkable group of 11 dual players now enter a hectic schedule:

Next weekend — Munster Club Hurling Semi-Final vs Loughmore-Castleiney
Following weekend — Munster Club Football Semi-Final against the winner of St Finbarr’s vs Clonmel Commercials

Maigh Cuilinn crowned Galway champions after late surge

Galway SFC Final · Pearse Stadium

Maigh Cuilinn 1-17 – 1-15 Salthill-Knocknacarra

By Billy Coss at Pearse Stadium

HIGHLIGHTS: After a titanic battle in the Bon Secours Galway Senior Football Final it was @maighcuilinn who lifted the Frank Fox cup after overcoming @skgaa on Saturday evening.

The Story

Third county title of the decade: Maigh Cuilinn’s composure in the closing minutes sealed another Frank Fox Cup.
Seán Kelly outstanding: The Galway captain hit 1-2 and drove his side from centre back.
Dessie Conneely delivered late: Levelled the game and then nailed a huge two-point free from long range on 60 minutes.
Peter Cooke impact: Came on in the first half and kicked two massive two-pointers from distance.
Heartbreak for Salthill-Knocknacarra: Led 1-14 to 1-13 with nine minutes to play, but couldn’t close it out.
Emotional tribute: Captain David Wynne dedicated the win to former manager Don Connellan, who passed away in August.

Maigh Cuilinn are Galway champions again.Two years after last lifting the Frank Fox Cup, and five years on from their historic first title, the West Board club showed all their trademark resilience to edge past Salthill-Knocknacarra in a gripping Galway Senior Football Championship final.

https://x.com/streamsporti/status/1982226699572985914

This is Maigh Cuilinn’s third county title of the decade. Across local championship football since 2020, only Mountbellew-Moylough (2021 semi-final) and Corofin (2023 and 2024 finals) have managed to knock them out. That consistency told again here.

On a night of fine margins, composure under pressure was the difference. Galway captain Seán Kelly delivered a man of the match display, finishing with 1-2 from play and repeatedly roaring out of defence. Dessie Conneely – the championship’s most prolific forward – was ice-cold when it mattered, first levelling the game and then landing a stunning two-point free from around 45 metres in the 60th minute.

Peter Cooke, back from the United States and sprung from the bench in the first half, made an instant impact. He clipped two outrageous two-pointers from long range into the Rockbarton Road end and helped Maigh Cuilinn steady themselves whenever the city side threatened to seize control.

It was also an emotional night. In his acceptance speech, captain David Wynne paid tribute to the late Don Connellan, who managed Maigh Cuilinn to titles in 2020 and 2022 and who passed away in August.

Dream start – and a punch back

Maigh Cuilinn tore out of the blocks. Inside the opening minute, Seán Kelly burst through and buried the game’s first goal. Dessie Conneely curled over his first two-point free, and with Fionn McDonagh and Johnny Moloney also on target, Cathal Clancy’s side raced into a 1-4 to 0-1 lead after just nine minutes.

Salthill-Knocknacarra looked rattled early. They struggled on their own kick-out and turned over ball in contact. But they settled. After Donal O’Sullivan struck a 45, the city men landed five of the next six scores. Rob Finnerty was razor sharp inside, and fellow All-Star nominee Matthew Thompson kept chipping away from further out.

The turning point of the half arrived when Daniel O’Flaherty was pulled down in the square. Finnerty drilled the penalty to the net despite a strong hand from goalkeeper Pierce Greally, and suddenly it was 1-5 apiece.

That was the cue for Cooke. Introduced earlier than planned, the Galway midfielder stroked two majestic two-pointers from beyond 40 metres. Kelly added another score, Thompson replied, and Conneely had the last word of the half to send Maigh Cuilinn in 1-11 to 1-6 ahead at the break.

Salthill-Knocknacarra flip it

Salthill-Knocknacarra, without injured captain John Maher after his ankle break in the semi-final win over Corofin, refused to fold. They owned much of the third quarter, even if a couple of early wides kept Maigh Cuilinn alive.

Finnerty and Thompson kept finding angles. Cathal Sweeney kicked a fine score. Off the bench, Rob Walzer split the posts. With 51 minutes gone, Salthill-Knocknacarra were in front for the first time: 1-14 to 1-13.

Chaos at the finish

On 57 minutes, Michael Kitt smashed a shot off the Maigh Cuilinn crossbar. Moments later, at the other end, Conneely levelled. Then he stepped up to nail a monster two-point free from distance to swing it back Maigh Cuilinn’s way entering stoppage time.

Finnerty answered again to cut it to one in the first of six added minutes. But fittingly, it was Seán Kelly who had the last word from play, surging upfield to fist over what proved to be the insurance score.

Salthill-Knocknacarra still had hope. Twice they worked late two-point frees for Tomo Culhane. Twice the ball drifted wide. The whistle went, and Maigh Cuilinn – battered, brave, brilliant – were county champions once more.

Scorers

Maigh Cuilinn:
Dessie Conneely 0-6 (2 two-point frees, 1 free),
Seán Kelly 1-2,

GAA Rounders All-Stars 2025: Breaffy, Carrickmacross, Glynn Barntown, Erne Eagles & Galway Rapparees Lead the Way Ahead of Osprey Awards Night

By SportsNewsIreland Staff

The cream of Irish Rounders will gather at the Osprey Hotel in Naas on Friday, 1st November, as over 220 guests attend the 2025 GAA Rounders All-Stars Awards Night — a black-tie celebration honouring the sport’s top players and clubs from another record-breaking season.

After a year that saw the game continue to grow across all four provinces, the Roll of Honour reflects the balance between established heavyweights and emerging forces. Glynn Barntown, Erne Eagles, St Senans, and Galway Rapparees dominate the nominations lists following outstanding campaigns at senior and intermediate level.

A Celebration of Rounders Excellence

In Leinster, Glynn Barntown once again set the benchmark for consistency, claiming both Senior Team of the Year and Leinster Club of the Year after another exceptional season.

Erne Eagles continue to lead the way in Ulster, collecting Ulster Club of the Year and producing a host of All-Star nominees across all categories, while St Senans (Limerick) dominated at Junior level, claiming multiple All-Star honours and the title of Munster Club of the Year.

In Connacht, it was a brilliant year for Galway City Rapparees, who captured the Connacht Club of the Year title following a breakthrough season across multiple grades. The club’s rapid rise since its foundation in 2021 has been one of the sport’s great stories, highlighted by Ili Tuimauga’s Intermediate Men’s All-Star award — the first in their history. Rapparees’ success at both adult and juvenile levels underlines the club’s growing presence as a major force in western Rounders.

At intermediate level, Emo (Laois) take Intermediate Team of the Year, while Kilmore (Roscommon) claim Junior Team of the Year after an impressive and consistent campaign.

End of an Era for Portumna as Senior Status Slips Away

JoeNa Connacht — Sat, 20 Sep 2025 17:04:51 +0000

End of an Era for Portumna as Senior Status Slips Away

Portumna’s incredible 33-year stay at the top table of Galway hurling has come to an end.
A 0-24 to 2-14 defeat to Ballinderreen at Kenny Park seals their relegation to the Premier Intermediate Hurling Championship for 2026.

It is a landmark moment for one of Galway’s most storied clubs. Portumna have been ever-present
in the senior ranks since winning the Intermediate county title in 1992. Over the following two decades, they became one of the most dominant club sides in Ireland, capturing
six Galway SHC titles (2003, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2013) and an
extraordinary four All-Ireland Club SHC crowns (2006, 2008, 2009, 2014).

Central to that golden era were the legendary Canning brothers – Ollie, Joe, Tony, and Ivan – who became synonymous with Portumna’s rise to national prominence. Joe Canning, widely regarded as one of the greatest hurlers of all time,
was the talisman during their peak years, producing some of the most memorable club final performances ever seen
in Croke Park.

But today’s result represents a changing of the guard. While Portumna have continued to field competitive teams in
recent years, they have struggled to replicate the dominance of their late-2000s heyday. Ballinderreen’s sharp
shooting in Athenry proved too much despite Portumna’s goals keeping them in the contest until the closing stages.

For a generation of hurling fans, Portumna’s fall is a reminder of how quickly fortunes can turn at club level.

Their drop to Premier Intermediate brings the curtain down on one of the most successful chapters in Galway club hurling history – but also offers the chance for a rebuild and potential resurgence.

Stephen Cluxton Joins Dublin Management as Coach – Ends Playing Career

Stephen Cluxton: From Pitch to Sideline as Dublin Coach & Selector

Stephen Cluxton – the man who redefined the goalkeeper position – will officially hang up his gloves as a player and join Ger Brennan’s new-look Dublin management team for 2026.

“He’s 100% Part of the Management Team”

Speaking at Staycity Aparthotels in Dublin city centre, new manager Brennan confirmed Cluxton’s next chapter:

“Stephen won’t be playing. He’s there 100 per cent as a coach and selector. His duties go beyond goalkeeping — he’ll be looking at the bigger picture.”

Brennan stressed that Dublin’s current goalkeeping coach Josh Moran will remain in place, with Cluxton adding an extra layer of tactical insight across the whole pitch.

Cluxton, Bastick & Rock: Leaders Reunited

The Sky Blues’ boss also confirmed that Denis Bastick and Dean Rock will join Cluxton in the dugout, alongside sports scientist Niall Moyna. Brennan could not hide his excitement:

“Their ability to read the game on the field was something that helped us get over the line in 2011 and beyond. Now, we get that same brainpower off the pitch – it’s a huge boost.”

Quiet Exit, Big Legacy

True to his understated style, Cluxton will not issue a formal retirement statement. Brennan admitted with a smile:

“If you can get him to use the word ‘retirement’, fair play to you! But he’s definitely not part of the playing group — he’s fully management now.”

Cluxton, who made his SFC debut in 2001, revolutionised Dublin’s game with his short kick-outs and laser-like accuracy. Brennan says that insight will now be passed on:

“He knows what defenders don’t like, what goalkeepers hate, and how to create space. That experience is priceless — and he’ll be heavily involved in coaching on the field.”

Backroom Boost

Brennan also confirmed that Martin Kennedy is returning as lead athletic development trainer, supported by Graham Norton. Colm Flanagan will manage logistics, and most of the analysis and medical team will remain in place.

A Sky-Blue Future

Cluxton’s presence on the sideline ensures Dublin’s next generation will benefit from one of the game’s greatest thinkers. His calm leadership and unmatched tactical mind helped deliver nine All-Ireland titles and revolutionise how Gaelic football is played. Now, he’ll shape the future — one training session at a time.

The Cluxton era as a player may be over — but his influence on Dublin football is only getting started.

Wicklow SFC: Heavy Bans After Rathnew vs Carnew Emmets Brawl

Wicklow SFC: Heavy Bans After Rathnew vs Carnew Emmets Brawl

Five Rathnew players sanctioned with bans of up to five years after off-field brawl in Aughrim. Both clubs fined; appeals remain possible.

Major Sanctions Following Quarter-Final Brawl

Wicklow GAA has issued heavy punishments after shocking scenes at the Senior Football Championship quarter-final between Rathnew and Carnew Emmets in Echelon Park, Aughrim, on 30 August. The match ended in controversy after a serious fight broke out on the terrace in the closing minutes.

Footage of the incident, which has circulated widely on social media, shows a mass brawl involving spectators and individuals entering from the pitch. The violent outbreak lasted for roughly one minute and overshadowed the on-field action.

Bans and Fines

Five Rathnew players reprimanded for offences arising from the quarter-final.
Bans range from three years to five years, with at least one player sidelined for the maximum term.
Both Rathnew and Carnew Emmets handed significant financial penalties.

All parties have the right to appeal the punishments. The sanctions were confirmed by the Wicklow GAA CCC, though details of exact offences remain undisclosed.

Controversial scenes marred the Wicklow SFC quarter-final in Aughrim.

Official Responses

Neither Rathnew Chairperson Harry Murphy nor Carnew Emmets Chairperson Brian Doran commented when approached. Michael O’Neill of the Wicklow GAA CCC also declined to comment, while the Wicklow GAA executive has remained tight-lipped.

“The deliberations will be sent to clubs by the CCC disciplinary,” Wicklow GAA Chairperson Damien Byrne said. “It is only right to let the clubs digest and deal with these matters internally, and no one in the GAA condones this behaviour.”

What’s Next?

The controversy comes just as the Wicklow Senior Football Championship semi-finals approach this weekend, alongside the semi-finals in the Intermediate and Junior grades. Despite the fallout, attention will quickly turn back to on-field matters as the county prepares for a big weekend of knockout football.

Supporters are urged to respect players, officials and fellow fans to ensure a safe and enjoyable championship.
