Castletownbere push wasteful Glanmire all the way

Glanmire 1-8 Castletownbere 1-7

No repeat of the incidents of the drawn game though. Glanmire were a far tastier outfit this time and, despite making hard work of it by shooting 14 wides, the class of James Murphy up front still proved enough for the East Cork outfit who now face Newmarket in the quarter-final next Saturday.

While Glanmire selector Brian Lotty was happy with the result he is only too aware there is room for improvement. "We played some good football tonight and looked in control. But the way we let teams back into games is irritating. We missed some terrible scores and three free kickers didn't have much success. If that's repeated next week we'll be in big trouble. We'll just have to sharpen up."
