Douglas 2-14 Newmarket 0-4

This was the first shock of the 2012 Cork SHC, underdogs Douglas downing the hot favourites Na Piarsaigh in Páirc Uí Rinn on Saturday.

Douglas have surged to the top of the county football league in a perfect build up to next weekend’s championship action.

Ballymartle have joined Na Piarsaigh at the top of the RedFM Senior Hurling League following an impressive five-point victory away to Midleton on Saturday evening.

St Finbarr’s top Division 1 of the Cork County Football League after they triumphed by 0-11 to 1-6 against city rivals Bishopstown on Friday night.

THE scoreline at the end flattered Midleton at Páirc Uí Chaoimh yesterday, yet, there was never any real doubt that they would be the team to face Ballymartle in next Sunday’s Cork SHC quarter-final.

DOUGLAS got their Cork SHC campaign back on track last night in Páirc Uí Chaoimh when they unleashed a powerful display in the closing stages to stave off the challenge of Ballinhassig in this second round clash.

Douglas 0-7 Na Piarsaigh 1-3

ULTIMATELY, Douglas had team captain John Lane to thank for their winning score in the second of almost seven minutes of time added on, but, in essence they triumphed in this exciting Evening Echo Cork SFC game in Ovens yesterday because of a dominant 10-minute period on each side of half-time.

The Munster Under-20 side to play Connacht at Dooradoyle on Friday evening (7.30pm) is as follows:

TODAY’S Avonmore Munster Schools Senior Cup final (Dooradoyle, 3pm) between Castletroy College and Christian Brothers College (CBC) could well be billed the second David and Goliath clash of the tournament.

CBC CORK booked their place in the Avonmore Munster Schools Senior Cup final with a hard-fought victory over gutsy Glenstal at Clanwilliam yesterday.

AFTER the shock exit of holders PBC, Christian Brothers College find themselves as hot favourites to add another Avonmore Munster Schools Senior Cup title to an impressive haul of trophies won over the decades.

WARM favourites Christian Brothers College Cork advanced to the semi-finals of the Avonmore Munster Schools Senior Cup at a windswept and wet Mardyke yesterday, but only after they overcame a strenuous and brave challenge from battling Ard Scoil Rís.

A FIRST-HALF try by Presentation Brothers College winger Simon Zebo all but decided this exciting Avonmore Milk Munster Schools Senior Cup final at Musgrave Park yesterday.
