Starting with Club Hurling Championship where we had five fixtures yesterday - two senior, two intermediate and one junior.
Both Senior games took place in Fraher Field, with Lismore and Fourmilewater throwing in at 3 o clock. It really was the Maurice Shanahan show in Dungarvan as the 2015 All-Star scored 2-17 - 14 frees, 1-3 from play and a penalty to boot, getting Lismore off the mark in their senior hurling championship.
There was only three points between the teams before a 59th minute penalty and a 63rd minute goal sealed the deal for the black and amber. Older brother Dan came off the bench for his 28th club campaign.
Fouremile had a late fight back to try and claw back the deficit - with Aaron Ryan, Tholom Guiry, Conor Gleeson, Diarmuid Murphy, Jamie Barron and Shane Ryan all making themselves known on the score sheet.

Stepping away from Gaelic Games activity, there was FA Cup action in Wembley last night where Arsenal extended their number of Cup wins to 14.
Two goals, including one from the penalty spot, from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang saw the Gunners come from behind to beat Chelsea. Chelsea finished with 10 men after Mateo Kovacic was sent off for a second yellow card with just over 15 minutes of normal time left to play.
Seamus Power continued his run at the Barracuda Championship last night where he now sits in 7th position after a solid third round and will surely see this as a great opportunity. He begins his final round just after 10pm
