JOY for Newcestown, huge heartbreak for wasteful Clyda Rovers.

THIS was one of those rare occasions when a draw was the perfect outcome to a marvellous game of hurling in the Cork premier intermediate championship at Páirc Uí Rinn yesterday.

Kilworth (Cork) 5-13, Granuaile (London) 0-6

CARBERY reversed last year’s result at the same stage of the championship with a comfortable victory over Imokilly in the opening round of the Evening Echo SFC at Ballygarvan last night.

Grenagh 1-9 Kilworth 0-12

ON a weekend when the Cork hurlers were beating Tipperary in the Munster hurling final at Páirc Uí Chaoimh, there were some interesting Evening Echo Cork senior football championship clashes around the county.

Armagh 1-19 Cork 2-10

CORK Under-21 football coach Tony Leahy is looking for a vast improvement on the form which saw his side shock Kerry in the Munster final, for tomorrow’s All-Ireland semi-final against Armagh at Pearse Stadium (2pm).

Cork 0-13 Kerry 0-12

SEAMUS MOYNIHAN has little hope of being fit for Kerry’s Bank of Ireland football championship semi-final against Derry.

Cork 0-14 Limerick 1-7

WATERFORD will be without Shane Walsh, their goal-scoring hero from last year's historic Munster U21 football final victory over Kerry, when the sides renew acquaintances in the semi-final in Killarney tomorrow night (7.30pm).

Dromina 2-13 Argideen Rangers 0-9

ALL-IRELAND Club champions Nemo Rangers may have taken three and a half hours of football and two replays to decide the issue, but the Cork kingpins finally delivered at Bishopstown on Saturday, proving too strong for St Finbarr’s, 1-10 to 0-09, in a lively Kelleher Shield quarter-final.
