Given how Glen Rovers had fared in front of goal in this year’s Cork senior hurling championship, a 16-point win over Cloyne at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday would not have been high on the list of expectations.

Persistent rain and slippery underfoot conditions suggested this Cork SHC Round 2 clash would be a tight affair and that proved to be the case as Bishopstown prevailed by just a single point in Páirc Uí Chaoimh last night.

A FEW short years ago, when they won the Intermediate title for the first time, a rosy future beckoned for Delanys.

Glen Rovers 1-19 Cloyne 3-11
