UCC emerged from round 2 of the Cork SFC Colleges/Divisions section with a six-point win at Ballinlough today.

A pulsating Cork PIFC opening round tie went right to the wire before Bantry Blues edged St Vincent’s at Enniskeane last Saturday evening.

The first session of the two-day Kinsale point-to-point meeting took place at a sun-drenched Farrangalway on Saturday evening and Ciaran Fennessy increased his advantage to four over the absent Derek O’Connor in the southern riders’ championship by partnering a two-timer to bring his tally in the region to 23.

Those who predicted the 2011 Cork county JHC champions Charleville would thrive at the intermediate grade were proved correct in Mallow GAA complex on Saturday.

Charleville’s Intermediate hurling adventure continues at pace, brushing aside a spirited challenge from St Catherine’s in Glanworth on Saturday.

Despite conceding a sloppy goal just before the half-time whistle, St Vincent’s still had enough scoring power to see off gritty Glenville in this fourth-round contest at Riverstown on Saturday to set up a quarter-final clash with either Ballingeary or Naomh Abán.

CHARLEVILLE CBS revived their Dr Harty Cup campaign with a merited success over Coláiste Chríost Rí in Mourneabbey yesterday and set up a crunch clash with St Caimin’s (Shannon) to decide who will gain the second quarter-final spot from Group B.

A POOR advert for football, with the free count more than doubling the scores registered, but both sides will be relieved for a chance of redemption next weekend after Saturday’s sterile Cork PIFC semi-final finished level at Páirc Uí Rinn.

THE superb free taking of John Paul Murphy ensured St Vincent’s got the better of Kiskeam in a scrappy Evening Echo Premier IFC quarter-final at Kilmurry last night.
