Congratulations to T.J. Brosnan on winning a Munster championship medal and to the Cork under 21 football team on their victory over Tipperary, in the Munster Final played at Thurles last Wednesday night. T.J. lined out at right half back and the team now progress to play Cavan in the All Ireland semi final at Tullamore next Saturday.

Congratulations also to Donal Hannon who was a member of the Cork minor hurling panel that defeated Clare on the following night in the Munster Championship played at Páirc Uí Rinn. Donal has the distinction of being the first Newmarket hurler to represent Cork at this level since 1974.
