Glen Rovers comfortable winners in opening game of championship defence

Glen Rovers 0-23 Carbery 0-6: Holders Glen Rovers got off to a winning start in their Cork SHC opener at Coachford yesterday.

A relatively straightforward victory for Richie Kelleher’s side with a significant contribution of 11 points from Patrick Horgan, as they overcame a disappointing Carbery outfit.

The Glen were 0-9 to 0-1 to the good by half-time – holding Carbery to a solitary point from free-taker Jeremiah Ryan. Without reaching any great heights the Blackpool side looked likely winners from a long way out.
