THEIR winning margin was just a point less than the lead they enjoyed after five minutes, but Erin’s Own were never pushed in this Evening Echo Cork SHC clash at Páirc Uí Rinn on Saturday.

Erins Own 4-16 Kilbrittain 1-4

Newtownshandrum 3-12 Erin's Own 0-14

JOY, at last, for Sarsfields.

THERE was no big steal at Rostellan on Saturday, but it was hardly fun in the sun for county champions Erins Own either as they had to battle might and main to force a replay with Sarsfields in an East Cork U-21 championship final devoid of good hurling.
