Ballyhea march on as deadly Ronan shoots down Carbery
Rotating between centre and full-forward, Ronan was the only bright spark in a game that was a dull as dishwater. If only he could transfer his club form to the county he’d be the complete article. He contributed 13 of his side’s tally which brings to 10 his average over three championship matches so far this year.
Ballyhea may yet be grateful to the county board, who refused their application at the beginning of the season to drop down a grade. While their hurling still left a lot to be desired, they are now through to a quarter-final tie against their own division, Avondhu, and they showed enough courage on Saturday to suggest they have plenty to offer the senior grade.
