Battling Midleton answer the call with five-star show

Midleton CBS 5-13 Abbey CBS 0-11

Needing Templemore to beat Douglas up the road and score a bagful themselves, Midleton’s task looked hopeless when they trailed 0-11 to 1-6 at the break.

Quite simply Abbey CBS, rocked by a quick Midleton burst inside the opening five minutes, with full-forward Killian Hurley goaling after taking the excellent Ger O’Leary’s free out of the air, proceeded to play some nice controlled hurling.
