Doughty Duhallow edge through in scrappy encounter

Duhallow 1-11 Muskerry 0-13

But unless they show radical improvement in front of the posts, with just five points and a scrappy goal coming from play, they won’t trouble any of the big guns.

With a good stiff breeze behind them, and with Pat O’Riordan and the strapping Fionnan Sheehan on top in midfield, Muskerry dominated the first half to lead 0-9 to 0-3.
