Slick Clonakilty forwards run riot against poor Carbery

BILLED as the game of the round, this all-West Cork clash in the Evening Echo SFC fourth round at Enniskeane yesterday turned out to be a one-sided affair as Clonakilty ran riot against near neighbours Carbery Rangers to set up a quarter-final against the winners of the Nemo/St. Finbarr’s tie.

Rangers went into the game as reigning Cork, Munster and All-Ireland intermediate champions, but they could never come to grips with the slickness of their opponents, who had this game well and truly won by half-time when they led 1-11 to 0-1 after playing with the strong wind.

Clon were magnificent in everything they did. Their pace and passing movements were superb and the fact that all of their scores came from play speaks volumes for the accuracy of their attack.
