Road bowling: Gene McVeigh makes history with win over Stokes

Gene McVeigh created road bowling history at Keady Tassagh on Sunday by becoming the first Tyrone player to win the All-Ireland men's intermediate final. He beat Munster champion, Páidín Stokes, by a bowl, having led all the way. But this was definitely a score of two halves. The Tyrone man looked invincible for the first half. Stokes' persistence finally reaped dividends from the top of the carnival straight. McVeigh's unassailable lead began to look more vulnerable under Stokes' sustained attack. Stokes raised the ante with a smashing bowl that cannoned perfectly off the kerb at the bridge. McVeigh was now only throwing odds over 47m and the line looked very distant up the hill. He delivered his bowl impossibly close to the left. It looked doomed. Somehow it got a brush and went well up the hill towards the line. Stokes would now need something out of the ordinary. That never materialised as he too was too tight left and his bowl failed to get back on track. After a tense closing, McVeigh had survived. The intermediate All-Ireland title would be heading west of the Blackwater river into the Red Hand county for the first time. In 2026 Tyrone will have a man challenging for the Ulster senior title, and bizarrely he has adopted not the traditional Ulster style, but the Munster technique. In the early exchanges McVeigh looked set to steamroll Stokes. He got the longest first shot on the road in recent history. For context, this is the road that hosts Ból-Fada, so every top senior bowler in Ireland has broken-off that start line. That gave him a lead he never relinquished. He stormed out Twynam's corner in four, but Stokes was there in five, keeping the lead under a bowl. He went up Gillogly's height with a sensational fifth and Stokes just missed that to concede the bowl of odds. Stokes then played two huge bowls to the creamery lane to bring the lead just under a bowl. Stokes was left with his next one and was now fending off a second bowl of odds. After ten and 12 to the top of the carnival straight, the lead was still almost two and Stokes' challenge looked lost. McVeigh only reached the carnival gates next. Stokes replied with a searing bowl tight left, but it got a touch off a metal cover, which deflected it left and it only beat McVeigh tip. McVeigh then missed the creamery stand. Stokes was a fraction too tight left. His bowl came off the edge, but it didn't have the speed to make McKee's wall. After the shots past McKee's the bowl was knocked and the score was back in play. McVeigh then went over the bridge, but his bowl didn't have the venom of his earlier ones. Stokes sent a rocket into the bridge and it came off the kerb. It ran well up the rise and the finish line looked beatable. He was now in a serious position. But McVeigh had the bit of luck with his bowl and Stokes was too tight with his reply.

Mason Melia back amongst the goals as St Pat's Athletic account for Waterford

Mason Melia ended a wait of six games for a goal as his first-half strike proved pivotal for St Patrick's Athletic as they returned from Estonia to record a win over Waterford FC in the SSE Airtricity Men's Premier Division at the RSC. The Tottenham-bound striker timed his run to perfection to finish an 18th-minute through ball from Kian Leavy to finish, and after they missed a host of chances to extend their lead, it was substitute Conor Carthy who sealed a card-ridden affair six minutes from time. From the outside, Waterford looked hesitant in defence with Melia unlucky not to convert a Leavy delivery inside five minutes before Conan Noonan had a big chance for the hosts at the other end two minutes later, but he couldn't get a vital touch on the end of Finlay Armstrong's delivery. Noonan and Tommy Lonegan linked up superbly inside the penalty area on 20 minutes with the latter getting on the ball on the left, but his shot was blocked out for a corner as the game started at a frantic tempo. It was the Inchicore side that broke the deadlock with 18 minutes on the clock when Kian Leavy picked up possession of the ball in the middle of the park before releasing Mason Melia, who was kept onside by Ryan Burke, and the Tottenham Hotspur-bound striker fired past the helpless Stephen McMullan. Tommy Lonergan had a penalty appeal turned down on 29 minutes when he went down under a challenge from Anto Breslin, but referee Daniel Murphy waved away appeals, before Mason Melia could have doubled the lead six minutes before the break only to fire inches wide. Lonergan saw a looping header just clear Joseph Anang's crossbar on the stroke of half-time before the visitors started the second-half on the front foot with a big chance coming to their striker just shy of the hour-mark. Leavy and Kavanagh linked up in the middle of the park with the latter playing Melia in between the Waterford defence, but his effort that was arrowed for the near post was turned out by McMullan before Ryan Burke blocked away an effort from captain Joe Redmond on 64 minutes. European match-winner, Jake Mulraney, latched onto a superb through ball from Kavanagh on 70 minutes, but his angled effort was turned around the posts by Stephen McMullan as the hosts struggled to get a foothold in the game. Referee Daniel Murphy lost the run of himself and his yellow card ten minutes from time as he showed it six times in the direction of players and management as tempers frayed after a tackle from Josh Miles on Brandon Kavanagh. Second-half substitute Conor Carthy settled the game for the South Dublin outfit on 84 minutes when he peeled off his marker to get on the end of Kavanagh's teasing left-wing corner-kick to beat keeper McMullan with a left-footed finish from close-range. Waterford FC: McMullan; Horton (Miles 59), Boyle (Coyle 84), Leahy, Burke; Armstrong (Dempsey 59); Rossiter (Glenfield 82), McDonald (Olayinka 59); Lonergan, Amond, Noonan. St Patrick's Athletic: Anang; Sjoberg, Redmond, Grivosti, Breslin (Kazeem 38); Lennon, Leavy, Kavanagh (Robinson 90), Forrester (Baggley 90), Mulraney (Carthy 75); Melia (Power 75). Attendance: 2,651

Hannah Tyrrell confirms Dublin retirement after Croker glory

Hannah Tyrrell has anounced her retirement from inter-county football after helping Dublin to a seventh TG4 All-Ireland SFC title on Sunday. The multi-talented sportswoman hobbled off with a leg injury in the latter stages of the Dubs' 2-16 to 0-10 defeat of Meath, receiving a huge ovation from the supporters as she left the field. Tyrrell turns 35 this week, and heads for the sunset after a magnificent career laden with silver. She was part of the Ireland rugby team that won the Six Nations in 2015 and played at the Rugby World Cup in 2017. Tyrrell now has two All-Irelands under her belt with Dublin, but confirmed she's played her last match for the Sky Blues. "How lucky am I?" she told RTÉ Sport's Marty Morrissey. "I've been lucky enough to be from Dublin, to get to play for Dublin, finish my career at Croke Park, go out on a high, I'm privileged. "I'm privileged to be from this wonderful county and represent all these people. I'm looking forward to what's ahead. "I was determined to walk off on my own two feet. It was going to be my last time in Croke Park. Bit of rehab ahead I think." Reflecting on the game itself, Tyrrell heaped praise on her team's defence which lay the foundations for an emphatic success. "It's obviously just amazing for us," she added. "We got the fast start we wanted and I thought our backs were absolutely incredible, gave us the platform to go on and perform. "We knew Meath would come after us and they did in fairness to them, but as I said our backs were brilliant, really stepped and we just kept clipping (over) the scores. The last few minutes were a bit of blur for me really, but it was great to finish it off like that." "I'm privileged to be from this wonderful county and represent all these people. I'm looking forward to what's ahead." - Hannah Tyrrell, with daughter Aoife in her arms, confirms to @MartyMofficial she has played her last game for Dublin #RTEgaa — The Sunday Game (@TheSundayGame) August 3, 2025
