Ballincollig booked their place in the Cork SFC quarter-final on Saturday after a hard-fought but fully deserved victory over Kiskeam in Ballyclough.

That Kiskeam walked off the Glantane pitch last night to a huge applause said it all.

Avondhu 3-20

Kiskeam 2-12 Fermoy 0-14: Founded in November 1945, Kiskeam are a relatively young club, but that didn’t mean that the joy of reaching senior football for the first time was any less sweet.

Cork minor manager Brian Herlihy says there is “absolutely no fear of complacency” from his charges ahead of this evening’s Munster semi-final clash with high-flying Limerick.

Ardscoil Rís, inspired by a powerful pack, qualified for the Munster Junior Cup semi-final when coming from behind to outscore Rockwell by two tries to one in a disappointing game at Dooradoyle yesterday.

FOR the third time in seven years, De La Salle (Macroom) will participate in the marquee day in Munster Colleges football after staving off Coláiste Chríost Rí in an absorbing Corn Uí Mhuirí semi-final in Cloughduv on Saturday.

CORK minor Paul Fitzgerald emerged as Coláiste Chríost Rí’s hero as the defending Corn Uí Mhuiri champions battled through to an all-Cork semi-final of the Munster colleges’ competition.

Coláiste Chríost Rí 2-10 Coláiste An Spioraid Naoimh 0-7

DE LA SALLE (Macroom) progressed to the knock-out stages of the Corn Uí Mhuirí after victory over champions Coláiste Chríost Rí in an excellent Group D clash in Cloughduv yesterday.

A DOMINANT second-half in which they outscored their opponents by 10 points to two saw reigning champions Árdscoil Rís comfortably defeat Cork college Coláiste Chríost Rí in this second round Harty Cup game at chilly Mallow yesterday.

NAOMH ABÁN safely moved past Kiskeam in an exciting Cork Premier IFC fourth round replay at Macroom.

THE incessant rain made for difficult playing conditions at Macroom yesterday in this Cork Premier IFC fourth round clash and, as a result, there will be no complaints that the two sides must square up again.

A TWO-GOAL salvo by midfielder Denis O’Sullivan propelled Carbery past Duhallow in last night’s Cork SFC clash in Cloughduv, thus securing top spot for the West Cork division in Group 1.

CHARLEVILLE CBS revived their Dr Harty Cup campaign with a merited success over Coláiste Chríost Rí in Mourneabbey yesterday and set up a crunch clash with St Caimin’s (Shannon) to decide who will gain the second quarter-final spot from Group B.

THE superb free taking of John Paul Murphy ensured St Vincent’s got the better of Kiskeam in a scrappy Evening Echo Premier IFC quarter-final at Kilmurry last night.

Munster’s bid to reclaim the Interprovincial title took another step forward yesterday as they scored a huge win over Connacht at Musgrave Park.

Tyrone 3-8 Cork 1-12 (aet)

WHAT a terrible shame that 78 minutes of delightful football had to be marred by just one moment of madness yesterday in Inchigeela.
