Naughton settles it as Newtown prevail

Newtownshandrum 1-19 UCC 0-21

Trailing 0-8 to 0-3 inside 13 minutes, the North Cork side managed to forge ahead, 0-15 to 0-13, by the 60-minute mark. A trio of UCC points gave the Students the upper hand once more but a Cathal Naughton individual goal proved crucial as Newtown would not trail again.

A last-eight tie with Na Piarsaigh or Bride Rovers beckons, and manager Liam Ryan hopes the great spirit shown can be carried forward.
