O'Gorman inspires Peamount

WOMEN’S SOCCER : Peamount United twice came from behind against Salthill Devon in yesterday’s final at Tolka Park to claim their first FAI Women’s Senior Cup.

Inspired by hat-trick heroine Áine O’Gorman, the team from <a href="http://www.cheap-jersey.com/Chicago-Bears-Jersey.html">Chicago Bears Jersey</a>  south Co Dublin showed

their hunger to win 4-2 and make up for the defeats in the 2005 and 2008 Lucy Hannon volleyed the Galway side ahead on nine minutes but that lead was  cancelled out within a

minute as O’Gorman teed up Ruth Comerford to finish. Salthill regained the lead through Jenny Critchley on 34 minutes yet again they conceded five minutes later as O’Gorman

squeezed the ball home aided by Emer Flatley’s deflection.

shot under Tina Hughes.

Railway end their 43-year Cup wait  

CRICKET : Railway Union survived a late wobble on <a href="http://www.cheap-jersey.com/Cincinnati-Bengals-Jersey.html">Cincinnati Bengals Jersey</a>   Saturday to claim their

second Lewis Hohn Williams Leinster Senior Cup title and bridge a gap of 43 years with a two-wicket victory over defending champions Clontarf at College Park, writes Emmet

Riordan.

Having won a vital toss Railway inserted Clontarf on a wicket that was damp at one end after rain had got under the covers.

Opener Bill Coghlan made light of the conditions as he cracked seven boundaries, but his departure for 40 saw Clontarf also lose the vital wickets of Rod Hokin and Alex Cusack

before lunch. Mohammed Tariq went on to take three wickets for 19 and off-spinner Greg Lambert three for 18 as Clontarf were bowled out for 134 in the 51st over.

An opening stand of 64 from Kenny Carroll and Tom Fisher got Railway off to a good start, but Coghlan (four for 21) and Alex Cusack (three for 27) saw Railway stumble from 90

for one to 127 for eight before Railway’s penultimate pairing got them over the line.

Mageean claims silver medal

ATHLETICS : Ciara Mageean (City of Lisburn AC) produced the run of a lifetime yesterday to take the silver medal in the 1,500 metres at the World Junior Athletics Championship

in Moncton Canada. Mageean produced a remarkable best time of 4.09.51 to finish second to Tizita Bogale of Kenya who won in 4.08.06. Mageean destroyed her previous best of

4.15.46 which broke the previous national record held by Sonia O’Sullivan.

Joyce named boxer of tournament

BOXING : Ireland’s John Joyce scooped the  <a href="http://www.cheap-jersey.com/Cleveland-Browns-Jersey.html">Cleveland Browns Jersey</a> boxer of the tournament award at the

eighth European Schoolboy Championships in Bulgaria yesterday despite losing his semi-final to Ivan Dubovik of Russia in Yambol City.

Joyce, from the Moate BC in Westmeath, was controversially adjudged to have lost 1-0 in his 41.5kg semi-final to Dubovik – who claimed gold on Saturday – on Friday. However,

many neutral observers believed Joyce, who received a standing ovation from the Bulgarian crowd as he was leaving the ring, won the last-four clash.

Wayne Kelly, from the Brosna BC in Westmeath, was also on the receiving end of a dubious decision when he was adjudged to have lost his semi-final to Timur Aminov, also of

Russia, who also won gold.

Joyce, Kelly and Finn Valley Donegal club-man Michael Gallagher were presented with their bronze medals on Saturday.

   Supreme Court appears divided over state laws against illegal immigration [08/12 10:15PM]   
(0) comentarios,   (0) trackbacks
The Supreme Court's showdown over whether states can aggressively enforce laws against illegal immigrants may have ended in a draw Wednesday. If so, Arizona's 3-year-old law that cracks down on employers who knowingly hire illegal workers will stand. It could serve as a model for other states and cities that seek to adopt stricter enforcement measures.air max shoes 2009 But if Justice Anthony M. Kennedy joins with his more liberal colleagues, as he did for part of Wednesday's argument, it could signal trouble in the future for other laws targeting illegal immigrants. They include Arizona's law that requires police to check the immigration status of suspicious people who are lawfully stopped, which could reach the court during its next term. At issue Wednesday was the fate of the Legal Arizona Workers Act, which imposes the so-called business death penalty on employers who are caught twice knowingly hiring illegal workers. Lower courts upheld the law, but the Obama administration and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce joined in arguing that the state law should be voided because it conflicts with the federal government's authority over immigration....

(0) comentarios,   (0) trackbacks
The Nexus S arrives December 16th, but several outlets already have their hands on the new Android phone. Here are some of the early Nexus S reviews. "Though not officially positioned as such, the Nexus S is an update to the now-retired HTC Nexus One," writes CNET in its preview. CNET likes to take its time with gadgets, so expect its review later this week. "Like its predecessor, the Nexus S offers the 'pure Google' experience without a disruptive manufacturer skin. That means you'll get direct access to a full set of Google applications.... It's the first handset with 'Gingerbread,' the next version of the Android operating system, and it offers a number of feature improvements like a Super AMOLED display with a contour design, an NFC chip, and a second camera. Not everything sounds promising--the Nexus S lacks a memory card slot and support for T-Mobile's HSPA+ network--but we're excited to see it just the same."...
