Cork football panellist Alan O'Regan has been injured in a car crash over the weekend and is considered unlikely to be recovered for next month's All-Ireland final. A regular on the team during the county's successful League campaign, O'Regan lost his place in the forwards during the championship but was a valuable member of the panel. He was hurt in the motor accident last Friday.
Under-21 Hurling: Kilkenny cruised into the All-Ireland under 21 final with a massive six goals and 17 points to spare over an Antrim side completely out of their depth in Drogheda on Saturday.
