Ballinhassig and Glen take league honours
Premier IHC winners Ballinhassig, narrowly beaten in the All Ireland Club final by Dicksboro at Croke Park, completed the double with a 0-14 to 0-11 victory over plucky Inniscarra in Ovens, while in the Premier MHL final championship winners Glen Rovers had a 2-11 to 0-9 extra-time victory over Bishopstown at Páirc Ui Rinn.
Ballinhassig now go into senior duty knowing they were the best intermediate team in the county, but they have a lot of work ahead to match the big boys. No question they have some excellent hurlers, with young Dan O’Callaghan, Fintan O’Leary and Darren Dineen terrific up front. This trio accounted for all their scores, but in the biting cold they showed they could defend too.
