Skilful Duhallow sound a warning
Playing their second Evening Echo Cork County SFC contest in seven days, they stormed all over last year’s beaten finalists Muskerry with a skilful first-half showing. Not even the early losses of the influential O’Sullivan brothers, Niall and Seamus, could interrupt their flow as they powered into a five point interval lead.
And when searching questions were asked of them in the second-half — when Muskerry shook off their lethargy to come within two points entering the final 15 minutes — the answers were all positive as three excellent points from Donncha O’Connor — one a sideline kick — two more from full-forward Niall Cronin and another from John Buckley killed off Muskerry.
