Castlehaven hold on as battling Clon’s brave comeback fails

Castlehaven 1-9 Clonakilty 1-7

For a considerable length of time, Castlehaven looked destined to garner the coveted laurels in comprehensive fashion and when they led by eight points entering the last quarter the die seemed well and truly cast for Clonakilty.

But Clonakilty, sparked by a goal out of the blue from full-forward Padraig Griffin, found a new lease of life and came agonisingly close to snatching a draw.
