A fitting end to the Cork Premier 1 U-21 hurling championship at the 4G pitch in Páirc Uí Chaoimh yesterday, with Sarsfields and Midleton serving up a thrilling end to the season.

Douglas 3-12 Sarsfields 0-13: Shane Kingston’s incredible comeback from injury was the springboard for Douglas to claim a first Rebel Óg Premier 1 MHC title as they surged away from Sarsfields in the closing stages at Páirc Uí Rinn last night.

Ahane 0-11 Na Piarsaigh 0-10
