Na Piarsaigh swept Ballygunner aside with a stunning second half display in today’s AIB Munster Club SHC semi-final at Walsh Park.

SUCH is the level of analysis into the opposition at club level these days, in advance of Sunday’s Munster Club semi-final Crusheen manager Michael Browne knows almost as much about Carrigtwohill as he does about his own side.

THROUGHOUT the year Carrigtwohill have been confounding expectations, so why should yesterday be different?

THEIR winning performance was almost dwarfed by the massive achievement in ending a 74 year wait for a place in the Cork SHC final, but it took an outstanding team display from Carrigtwohill, highlighted by inspirational play from Niall McCarthy and superb defending, to thwart Midleton in Páirc Uí Chaoimhy esterday.

THE last four of the Cork SHC will have a novel appearance this season as Carrigtwohill bridged a 58-year gap since they last featured at that stage after they claimed the spoils against Cloyne in an enthralling quarter-final tie in Páirc Uí Chaoimh yesterday.

MUSKERRY entered this Cork SHC tie with three championship wins under their belt, but apart from the opening five minutes, during which the sides were level twice, it was Carrigtwohill who looked the more menacing.

TIPPERARY made no mistake at the second attempt, handing out a 12-point drubbing to defending champions Cork in the Munster ESB MHC semi-final replay at Thurles last night.
