GAA Results, GAA Games, GAA FixturesWell, that was quite the finish wasn’t it? Waterford held firm and Davy Fitzgerald’s glorious return to the Clare fold failed to materialise. Alas, on his first attempt Fitzgerald hasn’t been able to take Clare back to future just yet. Yet Waterford remain evergreen as they march on to another Munster final with two points to spare. Can Clare point to the penalty that should not have been or to the missed opportunities in the latter stages of the second half? Possibly but it’s in the past now and the only thing they can look forward to now is the qualifiers.The Galway and Offaly game didn’t really supply the same spectacle despite eight goals and 38 points. The promise of the first half gave way to the reality of the second and now Galway have a match with Kilkenny or the Dubs (it could happen!) to decide who will be crowned Leinster champions.Kildare will certainly feel that they can be rightfully considered contenders for the Leinster crown in footballing terms. As expected they hammered an Offaly team who actually led after 10 minutes. Offaly then failed to score for the remainder of the half and Kildare dominated the second. The scary thing is Kildare weren’t at full strength.In Ulster Derry hurlers beat Armagh on their own patch – a match so irrelevant it makes Ireland v Italy tomorrow look like the World Cup final.That’s your lot for this week then. The nostalgia at the start of the day was just that. Clare will not win in Munster again this year and Waterford have reached another final. Offaly have a lot of work to do across both codes after Galway and Kildare handed out hammerings in hurling and football respectively. We may not have gone back to the future but do come back to the blog – same time, same place next week.
