Cloyne relegated as Burke’s late blast gives Rovers redemption

Bride Rovers 2-13 Cloyne 2-12

Equally, what a cruel way to drop down. Drama aplenty in this relegation play-off at Páirc Uí Rinn on Saturday as Bride Rovers and Cloyne battled to a standstill for the right to play in the SHC.

After trailing for most of this compelling decider, Cloyne upped the ante late on and, when James Nyhan set up substitute Colm O’Sullivan for a 57th minute goal to lead for only the second time, the red and black flags were flying high.
