Ballinhassig stormed into the last four of the Premier IHC on Saturday night after a terrific four-point victory over Ballyhea in Mallow.

It was slated as the game of the championship between two of the campaigns pre-tournament heavyweights but in the end you’d have to wonder was the hype misplaced.

This is a big year for Ballinhassig. Not alone will they endeavour to regain their senior hurling status but they will also play their first games in their new development at Ballinaboy.

Bishopstown 0-13 Ballinhassig 0-12

BALLINHASSIG remain a senior hurling club, but only just, after an injury-time goal from goalkeeper Martin Coleman salvaged a draw in their Cork SHC relegation play-off with Bishopstown at Cloughduv yesterday.

THE drawn match had been an engrossing and tightly-balanced affair but Cloyne’s complete superiority ensured there was to be no repeat in Saturday’s Cork SHC third round replay in Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

“AN unbelievable bunch of players.”

BALLINHASSIG maintained their senior hurling status as they had four points to spare over Carrigtwohill at Páirc Uí Rinn on Saturday.
