We're down to the knockout stages of the Cork club hurling championships after a bumper three days of brilliant matches with a mix of superb performances and some shocks. Glen Rovers and Sarsfields served up a top-class Premier Senior encounter live on TG4 despite both teams being qualified beforehand, with young gun Barry O'Flynn's two goals proving critical. Sars now progress to a showdown with Charleville. Patrick Horgan offered a reminder of his brilliance with a haul of 2-10 and the Glen take on Midleton in the quarter-finals. Carrigtwohill continue to be the form team in the Senior A tier after stitching four first-half goals to end Killeagh's campaign. Brothers Sean and Patrick Walsh are lifting for Denis Walsh's side. There was an upset where high-flying Bride Rovers were grounded by their near-neighbours Watergrasshill, who missed on the knockout stages on scoring difference despite two wins in the group. At Premier Intermediate, Dungourney are the only unbeaten club after Jack Leahy led their comeback in a cracking derby with Lisgoold. Ger Collins and Darragh O'Sullivan clipped the late points for Ballinhassig to beat Kilworth and snatch the other semi-final berth at that level. Aghada are on song at Intermediate A with Kilbrittain straight into the semis at Premier Junior. Huge credit must go to Sars and Glen Rovers' second teams, who also secured seeding at Intermediate A and Premier Junior respectively. It's a huge weekend on the club football front with the last group games taking place and we pick out the matches to catch in the various grades. Douglas and Ballincollig collide for qualification in the Premier Senior Football grade, Carbery Rangers and Clon will meet to avoid a relegation playoff, and all four teams in the Senior A group with Éire Óg, Kanturk, Kilshannig and Newmarket are tied on a win apiece.

ePower is to supply over 20 shopping centres across 14 counties nationwide with high speed EV charging points, following a partnership agreement with Lanthorn, which manages a portfolio of over €1.6bn of property throughout Ireland. Rollout will begin in 2025, and the sites where chargers will be installed include Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway, as well as busy urban areas like Navan, Dundalk, Mullingar, Athlone, Maynooth, Portlaoise and Kilkenny. ?ePower is working closely with Lanthorn in association with their project managers, KSNPM. ePower has been selected following a competitive process, which took into account the company's ability to offer high speed charging facilities, tailored specifically to each site, and crucially, the assurance that the sites would be maintained and serviced by ePower's 24/7 help desk, field engineering and remote management. Commenting on the development, John O'Keeffe, CEO of Power, said: "We're very proud to be part of the drive towards making electric vehicles a better choice for consumers. The rollout and delivery of chargers, be it through public or private partnerships, is key to this. Through this partnership with Lanthorn, ePower plans to have super-fast chargers installed at shopping centres around Ireland, from Donegal to Cork and many places in between; it's a great expansion for us in what's been a hugely successful year of growth." It's been a busy year for ePower; the company recently joined forces with Dublin's local authorities to bring online up to 200 fast chargers across the region in 2025. The initial phase of the project will see ePower's high-speed chargers installed at more than 40 Dublin locations across the four Dublin local authorities. The company also won six of 17 government contracts for the rollout of new high-speed electric car charging hubs across Ireland, due to be operational by the end of 2025.
