great match but thought the referee was generous to Tyrone slightly!!

fair play on Tyrone though, 6 points down and there didn't seem to be any way back. i backed them at 6/1 only had a few quid on them but good value

[Onlooker]

Great win by Tyrone.  Some achievement to beat Cork.

[orangeman]

I counted 20 passes in that last move for Tyrone -

Brilliant stuff and a great win.

Well done.

[ziggysego]

Great results for the Tyrone Ladies today. As said above, to come back from 6 points down against a brilliant team like Cork, to win by 7 is an amazing result. Congratulations!

TYRONE blew the race for the All-Ireland Senior Football Fhampionship wide open at Banagher on Saturday as they claimed a famous quarter-final victory against All-Ireland champions Cork.

The Red Left Hands ran out 3-11 to 0-13 winners against the Leesiders, who had claimed the last five All-Ireland SFC titles.

This was a truly seismic result at the Offaly venue as Cork's dreams of a sixth successive crown were dashed in sensational style at the finish.

The Rebelettes finished the match with just 13 players as defenders Bríd Stack and Aisling Barrett received yellow cards and were sin-binned in the closing minutes.

With that numerical advantage, Tyrone bagged two late goals to clinch a memorable success as full-forward Sarah Connolly (57) and inspirational midfielder Sarah Donnelly (60) raised green flags for the Ulster outfit.

Remarkably, Cork had led by 0-11 to 0-5 at half-time, having reeled off six unanswered points before the interval.
The sides had been level at 0-5 apiece with 15 minutes on the watch but Cork cut loose with a clinical run of scores to open up a healthy advantage at the midway point.

Cork, however, were rocked in the first half when centre forward Ciara O'Sullivan and experienced defender Geraldine O'Flynn were forced off through injury.

And the rot really set in after half-time as Cork managed just two points in the entire second half - both from Valerie Mulcahy frees.

Tyrone set about eating into Cork's lead but didn't appear to be making much headway until Aisling O'Kane goaled with 13 minutes of normal time remaining.
                                                         
Mulcahy hit back with a Cork free, her side's first score for 20 minutes, but points from Sarah Connolly and centre forward Gemma Begley brought Tyrone level at 1-10 to 0-13 with five minutes left.

Then, Cork's discipline left them down as first Stack and then Barrett were yellow-carded for fouls on Sarah Donnelly and Joline Donnelly respectively.
                                                           
Connolly took advantage to goal from close range with three minutes remaining after Sarah Donnelly's shot struck an upright before Donnelly found the net herself in the final minute with an impressive finish past Elaine Harte.

Tyrone's reward for this stunning win is a semi-final meeting with championship surprise packets Kerry, while Dublin and Laois will meet in the other semi-final.

The Dublin-Laois clash is a repeat of the TG4 Leinster decider, which Dublin won, and the Sky Blues are now the only remaining provincial champions left in the All-Ireland series.

Before Tyrone sent shock waves through the ladies game,
Laois had put paid to Ulster champions Monaghan in the first game of a Banagher double-header.

Laois proved that momentum through the qualifiers counts for a lot as the O'Moore County secured a 0-12 to 0-9 victory against the beaten 2008 All-Ireland finalists.

At half-time, Laois led by 0-6 to 0-3 after the sides had been level three times in the opening twenty minutes.
Then, scores from captain Angela Casey, Mary Kirwin and dominant midfielder Tracey Lawlor helped Laois to a three-point half-time advantage.

It was a lead they would hold all the way to the finish and Monaghan never looked like finding a way through a resolute Laois defence, with Lorraine Muckian and Aisling Quigley particularly good in the full-back line.

Three minutes from time, and with Laois leading by 0-11 to 0-7, top scorer Noirin Kirwan sensibly popped over a penalty after the 21-year-old forward was fouled by Grainne McNally.

Sub Caoimhe Mohan and a strangely subdued Ciara McAnespie hit points in the final minute but they were mere consolation efforts as the O'Moore County booked their place in the last four for the first time in three years.

LAST year's runners-up Dublin came good towards the finish against Laois on Saturday to book their place in the All Ireland Senior Football Championship Final.

The Jackies now have the chance to make amends for last year's final defeat to Cork when they face Tyrone or Kerry at Croke Park on Sunday, September 26.

Dublin beat Laois for the second time in championship football this year, having also won the TG4 Leinster decider, and the Sky Blues showed true grit to pull a hard-fought All-Ireland semi-final out of the fire on a 1-8 to 0-9 scoreline.

Laois had a player of the match performance from Aileen O'Loughlin and after the inspirational midfielder kicked two first half points to help the O'Moore County lead by 0-4 to 0-2 at half-time, the game sparked to life in the second period.

As Dublin fought their way back after the restart, Laois were rocked by a yellow card for wing back Mags McEvoy but held firm nonetheless.

With 12 minutes remaining, Laois stormed three points clear as Tracey Lawlor grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck and Dublin were badly in need of inspiration.

It arrived with just over seven minutes remaining when Lyndsey Davey netted a fine goal to put Dublin 1-6 to 0-8 clear at a crucial stage in proceedings.

In a dramatic finish, Laois responded with an equalising point from Gemma O'Connell but Allstar Sinead Ahern, quiet until then, exploded into life with a simply magnificent score with just over four minutes remaining.

Leinster champions Dublin then lost Lindsey Peat to a yellow card but the metropolitans still managed to notch the final score of the game as Ahern landed the insurance point.

Meanwhile, Waterford produced a powerful second half performance against Cavan to book their place in the All Ireland Ladies intermediate football final.

Cavan had beaten Waterford well in this year's Division 3 final but the tables were turned in emphatic fashion as the Déise came strong with a second half scoring burst to clinch their place in the final.

At Dr. Cullen Park in Carlow, midfielder Elaine Power secured the player of the match award after scoring 1-1 and her superb 18th minute goal helped Waterford to lead by 1-3 to 0-2 at half-time.

The early stages of the second half were closely contested and Cavan drew level at 0-10 to 1-7 with 12 minutes of playing time remaining.

Bronagh Sheridan scored the equalising point but it could so easily have been a goal as the Cavan forward spooned her shot over the bar after Waterford goalkeeper Amy Jordan had saved well from Clara Reilly.

That would prove to be Cavan's last score as Waterford, who had a superb attacking display from  reeled off seven unanswered points without reply to clinch the win.

Cavan were also dealt a huge blow when wing-back Renee Murphy was stretchered off in obvious distress following a lengthy stoppage.
Elsewhere, the TG4 All-Ireland Ladies junior football finalists were confirmed as Limerick and Louth emerged victorious in their semi-finals.

Limerick, beaten finalists last year had a stunning 1-9 haul from leading forward Dymphna O'Brien on their way to a 1-12 to 0-8 victory against Wexford.

And two goals from Kate Flood helped Louth to overcome the stiff challenge of Derry on a 3-10 to 2-10 scoreline.

Actually was at the Dublin junior final last night between Raheny and Sylvesters. Some great football played and Sinead Ahern is some footballer but finished on the losing side despite scoring something like 4-3. Raheny FF - Gilroy's niece I think got 5-2 and their CF and no. 12 were both excellent. Great evening's entertainment even if the lack of tackling/defensive nous takes a bit of getting used to.

Anyone doing updates? Won't be able to see 2nd half.
