Imokilly produce heroic finale

IN what was truly an incredible finale to an amazing match, Imokilly plucked victory from the jaws of defeat against Muskerry in the first round of the permanent tsb Cork SFC at Páirc Uí Rinn last night, winning on a 3-9 to 0-17 scoreline.

Muskerry scorched into a six-point lead after the opening quarter before Imokilly replied with a goal from Pat Ryan in the 16th minute but they trailed by 0-9 to 1-3 at the interval.

Imokilly then produced the heroics. First, O'Sullivan set up Deane for a goal. Then a short free from Deane was gathered by substitute John O'Connor and he made no mistake with a blistering drive to propel Imokilly into the lead for the first time.
