St Finbarr’s easily accounted for Carrigtwohill on Saturday evening in a resplendent Riverstown with a magnificent performance in the first round of the Cork SHC.

Newcestown 1-13 St. Finbarr’s 0-14: It was 14 scores each yesterday in Ballygarvan, but in the end, it was Trevor Horgan’s first-half goal for Newcestown that was the difference in the first round of the Cork SHC.

Last season’s runners-up Avondale United were given a major fright by Carrigaline United in the second round of the Munster Senior Cup before advancing 5-4 after extra-time at Avondale Park on Saturday.
