St Finbarr’s too classy and clinical for Bishopstown

St Finbarr’s 1-17 Bishopstown 0-10: Accuracy and class helped St Finbarr’s to a comprehensive win over Bishopstown in yesterday’s Cork SHC Round 3 clash at Pairc Ui Rinn.

This city derby never truly fired. A drenching second-half downpour which made conditions very difficult for both sides didn’t help, but the Barr’s bright start and ability to strike points from long range were crucial in killing this game off as a contest long before the final whistle.

The men in blue were quick into their stride, pacy corner-forward Philip Kelleher hitting two fine points in the first four minutes to go with a long-range effort from Glenn O’Connor.
