After a slow start, St Vincent’s turned up the heat in the second-half of this Cork Premier IFC game at Ballyanley on Saturday, forcing Macroom into a loser’s group meeting with Glenville in round two.

NEWTOWNSHANDRUM came from two goals down at half time to fashion a thrilling 1-19 to 1-16 victory over Duhallow to win the Co. U21AHC final at Páirc Ui Rinn on Saturday night.

A POOR advert for football, with the free count more than doubling the scores registered, but both sides will be relieved for a chance of redemption next weekend after Saturday’s sterile Cork PIFC semi-final finished level at Páirc Uí Rinn.
