No stopping Newtown's charge

Newtownshandrum 0-15 Cloyne 0-9

It suggests the tiny North Cork hamlet is eminently capable of repeating their historic 2003/04 All-Ireland club title triumph next year.

The crushing win over Cloyne gives them a home tie against either Thurles Sarsfields or Lixnaw in a month's time and on the evidence of this display, Newtown have little to fear as they head into a potentially long winter and spring.
