Last year’s beaten finalists Fr O’Neills came from six points down with five minutes to go to fashion an unlikely two point victory over Barryroe in the opening round of the Cork IHC at Ballygarvan yesterday.

IT took extra-time to decide the issue between these teams in an enthralling county IHC first round tie at Mallow on Saturday night.

DAY two of the Allianz Sciath na Scol produced four more excellent contests at sun drenched Páirc Uí Rinn yesterday, the pick of which was the clash of Belgooly and Kilcredan in the DH1 boys final.
