Derby brings out the best in Catherine’s
Maybe it was the fear of a relegation dogfight that drove the players on. Maybe it was just the brilliant hurling conditions that brought out the best in two committed sides. Maybe, but there can only be one winner and it’s St Catherine’s who go into the championship draw, leaving Killeagh to battle against relegation with Castlelyons.
Killeagh came agonisingly close — two gilt-edged missed goal chances going abegging — but for guts and determination alone St Catherine’s deserved their victory.
