Last shot success for O’Donoghue at re-launched Ballyvolane Road

THE Ballyvolane Road on the north side of Cork city was re-launched on Saturday with the first score in the 2011 Munster senior championship between Patrick O’Donoghue and Willie O’Donovan.

O’Donoghue took the verdict in the last shot – in what was a clash of the 2009 and 2010 All-Ireland intermediate champions.

They got two good shots each to light, with O’Donovan winning both. Their next two were poor though. O’Donovan just made Kate’s corner in five, where O’Donoghue lofted his odds. O’Donovan levelled with his brilliant sixth to Dill’s wicket. They were still locked together after another good exchange to the first line.
