Brave Ballinhassig refuse to bow to intimidation
The Cork champions’ passage to the All-Ireland Intermediate Hurling Club Championship final was well secured before Glenariffe had three players sent off in as many minutes entering the final quarter. First to go in the 46th minute was red carded left half-forward Paul McDonnell, followed a minute later by his brother Randal for a second yellow card offence and the same fate befell corner forward Seamus Doherty in the 48th minute.
Trailing by 3-9 to 1-6 at this stage, Glenariffe had no hope of victory and Ballinhassig kept their composure to run out convincing winners.
