Griffin spurs Clon to thrilling victory

Clonakilty 2-7, Imokilly 1-9

Griffin, who tormented the Imokilly defence all through with his uncanny control of the greasy ball, might have had a hat-trick but for a magnificent save by Imokilly keeper MJ Cremin midway through the second-half which denied the Clon full-forward, who finished with 2-2 to his credit.

In the most difficult of conditions for football, Griffin struck for his first goal after two minutes and it helped his side to stay in the game after the East Cork divisional team threatened to take complete control.
