Sarsfields 0-15 Bishopstown 1-7: An excellent exhibition of point-scoring by Cian McCarthy powered defending champions Sarsfields to a comfortable victory over Bishopstown in a substandard second-round tie in the county senior hurling championship at Pairc Uí Rinn last night.

O’Donovan Rossa 2-15 Clonakilty 0-10: A West Cork senior football championship game usually produces plenty of fireworks, but this one at Rosscarbery yesterday fizzled out and faded quickly as O’Donovan Rossa crushed a hugely disappointing Clonakilty.

There was good news for Cork football boss Conor Counihan in Saturday’s Premier IC game at Donoughmore where Fiachra Lynch showed no ill effects of the injury which limited his involvement in the National League.

A FOOTBALL treat in Brinny on Saturday, two outstanding teams, all-out commitment and some terrific scores.

CORK football continued on the rise at Pairc Ui Chaoimh last where the junior team picked up their third Munster title in five years with a convincing victory over Clare in the provincial final.

FOR the first time since he began his illustrious career 14 years ago, Darragh O Sé has been excluded from the Kerry team to meet Cork in Sunday’s glamour Munster SFC semi-final clash with Cork at Fitzgerald Stadium, Killarney.

THEIR provincial final scare was as real as it gets. Three weeks ago the Cork Under-21s performed a great escape act, squeezing out Tipperary by a point thanks to a last-gasp goal from the unlikeliest of sources, corner-back Noel Galvin.

Cork 1-17 Kerry 0-09

THIS was one of those rare occasions when a draw was the perfect outcome to a marvellous game of hurling in the Cork premier intermediate championship at Páirc Uí Rinn yesterday.
