Delighted Rachael Blackmore sums up Tipperary's incredible All-Ireland win
Rachael Blackmore couldn't contain her excitement as she spoke to the BBC following her county's incredible All-Ireland hurling final win over Cork. Hardly anybody gave Tipperary a chance ahead of Sunday's decider, but a stunning second half performance saw them steamroll the Rebels and lift the Liam MacCarthy Cup for the first time since 2019. "It just shows you what sport is and what can happen is sport and I think that's just inspiring for everyone in any walk of life," a delighted Blackmore told the BBC. "It's incredible. They just came out in the second half and were just phenomenal." Blackmore was then asked how it was as a Tipp native experiencing the match live, but she couldn't hear the question through the wall of noise, saying: "I haven't heard a word you said. Woooo." Tipp trailed Cork by six points at half-time, but a second half blitz of scores saw them run out winners by 3-27 to 1-18 as they limited Cork to just two points in the second 35 minutes. It was the first ever All-Ireland final meeting of the sides and means Cork's wait for Championship glory will now extend to 21 years at least after they lost in the decider for the second year in a row.

Rachel Blackmore's retirement
Sir, – Would I be alone in losing interest in Irish horse racing after the recent retirement of Rachael Blackmore? I would eagerly scan the runners and riders to see if 'herself' was on board and then making a mental note to see how she did in the results section the following day. As an retiree with no background in horseracing I avidly read the sports pages but they are a little less interesting now that she has gone. I suspect there are a few like me. – Yours, etc, IAIN KENNEDY, READ MORE Co Fermanagh.
