Newtown show Cat-like efficiency

THE ‘Little All-Ireland’ took place in Pairc Ui Chaoimh Sunday.

In the vernacular that means the Cork county hurling final. For good measure and great entertainment, it was preceded by the Premier IHC final where Douglas held off the strong challenge of Ballymartle.

My brother Brian was very active with Douglas when he was stationed in Cork some years ago. Douglas now return to senior ranks and a club of their size, status and ambition will feel very much at home in that rank.
