Super Sars sizzle in sun

Sarsfields 2-20 Carrigtwohill 2-10

No question Sars picked up on the momentum they showed against Blackrock in winning this Cork SHC quarter-final clash so handsomely. They were sharp and well clued in throughout, though, in fairness to Carrigtwohill, they hung on determinedly in the opening half and only trailed by four points at the break. Key for Sars was a fabulous halfback trio of Eanna Martin, Ray Ryan and Daniel Roche. There were no slouches behind them either, and, with Daniel Kearney outstanding at midfield, the Sars forward division got plenty of supply, and were constantly buzzing.

Cian McCarthy was the scorer in chief with a fabulous 1-9 (1-4 from play) contribution; Gavin O’Loughlin justified his selection ahead of Tadhg Óg Murphy, scoring four fine points, and Michael Cussen was always a nuisance on the edge of the square on an evening nine Sars players hit the target.
