Super sub JJ Hutchinson was the game-changer for Ballygunner in the final quarter as the champions blitzed Dungarvan with the last nine points of yesterday’s Round 2 contest at a wet, wet, wet Walsh Park (1-18 to 0-14).

Three stunning saves from Shaun O’Brien and 11 Jack Fagan points saw De La Salle come from seven points down to edge Lismore 2-21 to 1-18 in a thriller at Fraher Field yesterday.
