Gritty Glanmire get their act together in second-half

Glanmire 3-11 Carrigaline 2-11

Carrigaline were the dominant force in the opening proceedings but the ease with which they allowed Glanmire to gain the initiative after the changeover will haunt them for some time.

Playing very slick football Carrigaline, with a splendid morale-boasting goal from corner forward John Mullany in the fifth minute, lorded the free-flowing opening sequences in a most impressive manner.
