Martin Crummey salutes ‘honest bunch’ as Avondhu run riot

Avondhu 4-16 Ilen Rovers 0-6: Everything went right for Avondhu as they recorded a 22-point Cork SFC first-round win over Ilen Rovers at Coachford last evening.

The North Cork divisional side made the most of the wind at their backs in the first half, building a 1-10 to 0-3 lead by half-time, and they ensured that there was no chance of a second-period comeback for their West Cork opponents.

Colm O’Neill and Ruairí O’Hagan each scored 1-3 for Avondhu but it was a superb team performance, 10 players scoring in all.
