THERE was to be no hat-trick of victories for Bride Rovers over St. Finbarr’s in the Evening Echo Cork Co SHC at Páirc Uí Chaoimh last night where the Togher club survived a late scare before emerging winners by two points.

A GOAL by Conor McCarthy in the 16th minute proved decisive in a keenly-contested Evening Echo SFC first round clash at Ballineen last night.
