Kiskeam 0-21 Naomh Abán 0-16

Na Piarsaigh 2-17 Kiskeam 2-10 (AET)

Shannon 16 Garryowen 12

Almost as disappointing as the result was the poor turnout by Cork fans at Croke Park on Sunday.

Kiskeam snatched victory from the jaws of defeat with a brilliantly executed Billy Dennehy penalty six minutes into injury time in this second round clash at Coachford last evening, leaving Kinsale, who looked destined for the win with normal time complete, shell-shocked.

After a closely contested hour in Mallow, St Michael’s held out for a narrow one-point win over Kiskeam in the opening round of the Cork Premier IFC.

A WELL-CRAFTED goal midway through the second half from substitute Niall Cronin earned Mullinahone victory at Clonmel yesterday.

NAOMH ABÁN safely moved past Kiskeam in an exciting Cork Premier IFC fourth round replay at Macroom.

THE incessant rain made for difficult playing conditions at Macroom yesterday in this Cork Premier IFC fourth round clash and, as a result, there will be no complaints that the two sides must square up again.

CLAIMER Eddie O’Connell, in his first week under the guidance of agent Niall Cronin, had a night to remember in Ballinrobe last night, completing a superb treble on City Hustler, Vivaldi and Yachvili.

I REFER to Ronan O’Brien and Niall Cronin’s comments on the Beál na Bláth commemoration (July 27).

St Catherine’s 2-14 Duhallow 0-9

THERE were times at Inchigeelagh yesterday when Duhallow looked good, very good.

LEADING all the way, a stylish Duhallow side outclassed CIT 1-15 to 0-11 in the opening round of the Evening Echo Cork Co SFC at Mallow last night.

IN view of the obsequious welcome Charles Windsor received in Munster last year, I suppose it was not all that surprising to see a cabinet minister unveil a memorial to the English pirate Francis Drake in Carrigaline recently.

Carbery 1-11 Duhallow 1-11

TONIGHT: SFC: St. Nicks v O'Donovan Rossa at Newcestown, 7.15 p.m. BOTH sides are without key players which should make it wide open.

JUST one permanent tsb Cork County SHC contest down for decision over the weekend and it was another important milestone in the history of Dublin Hill club Delanys, when they recorded their first victory at senior level at Páirc Uí Rinn on Saturday by defeating Douglas 3-14 to 1-11.

Kiskeam 0-14 Castletownbere 1-7

I KNOW that the re-Anglicisation process has been going on for several decades but I never thought I would see the GAA taking the shilling. Or, in this case, the crisps.
