Coughlan the difference as Rockies stumble through

HARDLY the start Dave Keane wanted, but the new Blackrock coach will still be happy his charges are through to the next round of the Evening Echo Cork County SHC after a very poor clash with Castlelyons at Carrigtwohill last night.

And the Rockies, who had 15 wides, will be thankful for the steady shooting of Adrian Coughlan who contributed 11 points in all. Only Alan Browne and Barry Hennebry upfront contributed to their cause and it’s clear both Keane and Blackrock have a lot of work to do.

Castlelyons, with Ciaran McGann having an outstanding game at centre back played their part but apart from Eoin Fitzgerald up front, they too struggled for scores.
