A NEW YEAR and a new horizon loom large for Charleville’s junior hurlers.

THIS Waterford SHC final was as one-sided as the score suggests as Ballygunner captured their 12th senior title with ease at sun-drenched Walsh Park yesterday.

TALLOW crashed to one of their most ignominious Waterford SHC defeats ever when they were crushed by 21 points by rampant De La Salle in a hopelessly one-sided SHC quarter-final at Fraher Field, Dungarvan yesterday.

A GOAL by Kieran O’Callaghan a minute into injury time earned Glen Rovers a draw in this Evening Echo Cork SHC first round tie at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday night.

THE spoils went Sarsfields’ way, thanks to hitting a purple patch in the opening quarter, but Ballinhassig left Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday with their pride intact after an admirable second-half recovery.

JOY for Newtownshandrum, heartbreak for Imokilly at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday, the Evening Echo Cork senior hurling champions surviving a searching quarter-final test from the East Cork divisional side (1-14 to 0-15), who might be celebrating victory but for two glaring misses at the end of a fabulous contest.

Youghal 1-10 Newmarket 1-6

THEIR winning margin was just a point less than the lead they enjoyed after five minutes, but Erin’s Own were never pushed in this Evening Echo Cork SHC clash at Páirc Uí Rinn on Saturday.
