The Burgess A1 Puppy Stake was the feature on Saturday night’s programme at Curraheen, and victory went to the sponsors, JJ Fennelly and Sheila Spillane, Killeagh, with 5-2 chance Burgess Tadhg (Ace Hi Rumble – Dower Twilight).

After a luckless run a week ago, when he was denied by the minimum margin, Droopys Oddysey came from last to first to set the standard in Saturday’s second round of the Barry’s Tea Open Tea, for trainer Fraser Black and the Diamonds Are Forever Syndicate.

CORK JAFC FINAL:

A SUPER night for hurling in Newcestown on Saturday, yet little sparkle from either Aghabullogue or last year’s intermediate champions Kilbrittain.

THERE were times at Inchigeelagh yesterday when Duhallow looked good, very good.

LEADING all the way, a stylish Duhallow side outclassed CIT 1-15 to 0-11 in the opening round of the Evening Echo Cork Co SFC at Mallow last night.

A BIO-TECH campus company based in Cork signed a lucrative worldwide deal with a multi-national drugs giant yesterday giving it a slice of a €16 billion global market.

Finuge 2-13 Aghabullogue 3-4
