PÁIRC Uí Chaoimh had a little something for everyone yesterday, with Cork edging out Galway by three points in an Allianz Division 1 Hurling League game which only came to life in the closing stages.

ALL week leading into this match, the big question was which – if either – of these teams would be going all out for the win.

“AN unbelievable bunch of players.”

IT MIGHT have been bitingly cold, damp and miserable at Páirc Uí Rinn on Saturday night, yet hardly anyone noticed. With the action tough and uncompromising and a plethora of great scores, this Evening Echo Cork Co U-21 HC final was spellbinding and had late drama to cap a compelling night.
