No payback for Cloyne as Rockies retain league title
And at blustery Páirc Uí Chaoimh yesterday the Cloyne men fancied their chances of getting a little bit of payback in the shape of the Conroy Cup 2003 senior league title. However, Blackrock, too, were looking for their own bit of compensation for losing their title to Newtownshandrum and in the end it was the City side who again proved the masters.
Quite simply, as the scoreline illustrates, Blackrock were twice a better side. No Alan Cummins, no Alan Browne, no Noel Keane, the spine of the team. But they still had talent in abundance to see off Cloyne, with Paul Tierney a jewel around the centre of the park, scoring four terrific points in the process.
