Second-half goals turn tide for Youghal

A WHIRLWIND start to the second half paved the way for Youghal’s exciting victory over Inniscarra in the Evening Echo Cork Co Premier IHC at Riverstown yesterday.

The sides were level at 0-5 apiece at half time but two snap goals from full-forward Andrew Murphy and left corner-forward Richard Cunningham within eight minutes of the restart turned an excellent game Youghal’s way.

Although missing some of their top players through injury, Youghal triumphed over adversity in admirable style and outstanding performances from full-back Vincent Murray and left half-back Stephen Twomey smoothed their passage to the third round.
