Ragged enough finish from Lowry - his chipping and especially his putting saved him over the closing holes - 9 single putts on back 9.

Lowry turning it on today at Doonbeg. 11 under after 12 holes - 8 under for today. Course looks short and relatively easy once you hit the fairway. Wind yesterday offered some defence but today is calm.

Do the two over excitable RTE commentators know what they are talking about? Is Taylor winning as comprehensively as they make out?

I wonder what Clark's girlfriend sees in him

His bank balance?

Galway winning by 2 against Cork

Cork win it by a point. Galway will regret some easy chances missed. Some wild tackles and ref very inconsistent.

I suppose we should be thankful to Argentina for knocking England out at the semi final stage. Most important result in the tournament for many Irish people. 

Would have been a travesty if Argentina pulled off a draw. Still can't understand their approach. Cape Verde would have shown more ambition

Strange tactics by Argentina to not make any effort to attack for 105 minutes. Did they think their only chance was to try and bring it to penalties?

Good finish. Fox a deserving   winner and seems a sound fellow.Did he win the Irish Open at Ballyliffen some years back?

Galway out of their depth and can't win or retain possession. Limerick foul continuously knowing ref won't pull them for everything and if he does blow all they concede is a point.

Lucky Kerry all the breaks went with them. Clifford becoming a dislikeable tit with his celebratory antics.

If Mayo show up they have every chance but that's a big if.

Kilkenny lose by 5 to Warwickshire in the AI Junior Quarter Final.

That will hurt even harder than not getting through to the hurling quarters!

Wouldn't have mattered either way because they didn't have the time but Tyrone didn't deserve that.

Terrific effort from Tyrone and a massive test for Kerry. They were able to win without ever really getting out of 3rd gear and were able to just keep their noses in front the whole way down the stretch.

Bull and an insult to Tyrone. This was a game of inches and Kerry fell over the line.

Ref not letting this one go in comparison to the last game

Good to see a ref who blows for fouls. "Letting it flow" should not mean ignoring most fouls as we get from too many refs.

Why are the RTE lads so bothered that England are not winning?
