Rockies pushed to limit
Just a few months ago, in the same competition, Delanys were on the receiving end of a sound trashing from the champions. However, showing skill and graft in abundance, they pushed the Rockies all the way in this third round contest and the Cork kingpins knew they had been in a match when Denis O’Flynn’s final whistle sounded.
In the final analysis Adrian Coughlan’s lucky 47th minute goal was to prove the turning point, the ball shooting past Delanys goalkeeper Vincent O’Brien from long range.
