Billy Lynch the inspiration as Church of Ireland get back on track

Billy Lynch helped Cork Church of Ireland get back to winning ways with a masterful performance between the sticks in a nervy 2-1 win over Glenanne.

Lynch is up there with Ireland’s best and he repelled numerous penalty corner efforts from Glens’ Olympian Shane O’Donoghue as C of I weathered a siege.

Stephen Parker opened the scoring for C of I before Eddie O’Malley equalised. Lynch’s heroics kept things even despite Glenanne’s dominance until John Jermyn slung home his side’s second short corner to win it for C of I.
