JOY for Newtownshandrum, heartbreak for Imokilly at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday, the Evening Echo Cork senior hurling champions surviving a searching quarter-final test from the East Cork divisional side (1-14 to 0-15), who might be celebrating victory but for two glaring misses at the end of a fabulous contest.

MIDLETON’S rise to prominence continued at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday night as they earned a place in the last eight of the Evening Echo Cork County SHC and a tilt with neighbours Cloyne with a 0-12 to 0-10 victory over former champions Blackrock.

AT half-time in this Evening Echo Cork Co SHC first round contest at splendid Fermoy on Saturday, the St. Finbarr’s selectors were seething. And with every justification.
