Colman’s show of strength stifles Spioraid Naoimh
Greasy underfoot conditions and a persistent drizzle made it difficult for both sides, but Colmans’ greater physical strength was a crucial advantage.
The Fermoy side opened brightly with a pointed free from Padraig Lynch and they never relinquished that lead, tacking on points from Mark O’Connor, Kevin Dineen and the impressive Adrian Mannix. Padraig Cotter at centre-back was dominant for Colmans and Spioraid Naoimh found it hard to create chances.
