A fitting end to the Cork Premier 1 U-21 hurling championship at the 4G pitch in Páirc Uí Chaoimh yesterday, with Sarsfields and Midleton serving up a thrilling end to the season.

Dylan Walsh struck a dramatic winner from a free out near the sideline three minutes into stoppage time to secure a one-point victory for Sarsfields in the first round of the Cork IHC at Páirc Uí Rinn last night.

Douglas 3-12 Sarsfields 0-13: Shane Kingston’s incredible comeback from injury was the springboard for Douglas to claim a first Rebel Óg Premier 1 MHC title as they surged away from Sarsfields in the closing stages at Páirc Uí Rinn last night.

Sarsfields 1-20 Na Piarsaigh 1-17
