Sarsfields 0-16 Erins Own 1-13: What should have been the championship’s marquee fixture, one to give Cork hurling an esteem boost, instead turned out to be a mediocre affair with holders Sarsfields just about hanging onto their title – at least for another six days.

Glen Rovers have reached a second consecutive Cork SHC final but they will have to wait another week to find their opponents in the October 11th decider, with Erin’s Own and Sarsfields drawing in the second semi.
