Ballydesmond 1-17 Canovee 0-13

Sharp-shooting Donncha O’Connor and Niall Fleming combined to earn Ballydesmond a deserved win over Cill na Martra in this Cork IFC first round clash at Dromtariffe on Saturday.

A MIXTURE of terrible weather conditions and a tenacious Ballydesmond team were unable to prevent Glanmire from being crowned Division 4 Football League champions at Mallow yesterday.

BALLYDESMOND had only themselves to blame for defeat in this uninspiring IFC quarter-final at Mallow.
