Cork’s progression to the All-Ireland U21 final, on Saturday, April 30, looks set to disrupt local football championship fixtures.

Midleton 1-15 St. Finbarr’s 1-13: The story of this Cork SHC round four clash on Saturday centred around Midleton’s staggering total of 20 wides, but 1-15 was enough for the Magpies to make it into the quarter-finals to face the winners of next weekend’s Duhallow-Douglas clash.

St. Finbarr’s 0-11 Aghada 0-8: Measured against their greater potential in the first half when they were limited by some poor finishing, it was no surprise to see St. Finbarr’s emerge victorious from this second round Cork SFC game in the wind and rain in Carrigtwohill on Saturday evening.

Douglas 1-14 St Finbarr’s 0-9: The meeting of these city rivals at Páirc Uí Rinn on Saturday failed to live up to its pre-match billing as a tantalising first round Cork SHC derby. A contest that lacked any real intensity saw Douglas up the ante in the final quarter with a rush of scores to run out deserving winners.

Blackrock’s David Cashman lit up their RedFM SHL clash with St Finbarr’s on Saturday as the Rockies engineered a 16-point victory in Togher. 

In the Cork County Football League, Castlehaven are the early leaders of the Rochestown Park Hotel Division 1 (Kelleher Shield).

FOR the third time in seven years, De La Salle (Macroom) will participate in the marquee day in Munster Colleges football after staving off Coláiste Chríost Rí in an absorbing Corn Uí Mhuirí semi-final in Cloughduv on Saturday.

CORK minor Paul Fitzgerald emerged as Coláiste Chríost Rí’s hero as the defending Corn Uí Mhuiri champions battled through to an all-Cork semi-final of the Munster colleges’ competition.

THE last three Dr Harty Cup quarter-finalists will be determined today with crunch games in Ardmore, Clonmel, Tipperary Town and Cahir.

DE LA SALLE (Macroom) progressed to the knock-out stages of the Corn Uí Mhuirí after victory over champions Coláiste Chríost Rí in an excellent Group D clash in Cloughduv yesterday.

IT was an All-Ireland Colleges semi-final to savour at the Claughaun Grounds, Limerick on Saturday with sweet, flowing football as St Jarlath’s of Tuam edged out battling Coláiste Chríost Rí to book a final date with holders St Colman’s, Newry.

COLÁISTE Chríost Rí’s return to Dr Harty Cup action may not have got off to a successful start in Ballyagran yesterday, but they contributed greatly to an extraordinary Group B clash as their stunning second-half fightback almost produced an improbable victory.
