GUTSY Sarsfields upset former champions Na Piarsaigh at Páirc Uí Rinn to reach the third round of the Evening Echo Cork Co SHC, 2-12 to 0-9, and force the city side, with Sean Óg Ó hAilpin and John Gardiner in their ranks, into a relegation battle.

Colin Montgomerie made three birdies in-a-row from the fourth hole to move to 13 under but he slipped up at the short seventh and is currently 12 under.
