Barr’s get the better of Killeagh

ST. FINBARR’S edged out Killeagh, 1-17 to 2-13, in a nailbiting Evening Echo Cork County SHC first round tie at Midleton on Saturday.

A point a minute into injury- time from full-forward Kevin Murray swung the game the Barr’s way but Killeagh did not deserve such a fate in a game punctuated by some wonderful scores.

The East Cork side had chances to level it, particularly two minutes from the end when Joe Deane stepped up to take a 30-metre free just left of the posts. However, the Cork ace, who had previously hit over five points from frees and two more from play, was wide of the mark.
