Resilient Rovers full value for victory over Barr’s

THE famine continues for St Finbarr’s as Bride Rovers accomplished another giant-killing feat in the third round of the Evening Echo Cork County SHC at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday.

Promoted to senior ranks just two years ago, Bride Rovers claimed the scalp of mighty Glen Rovers 12 months ago and have now added the Blues to their list of conquests. And the brave and resilient Rathcormack side were full value for their triumph.

With Brian Murphy in outstanding form, they withstood a desperate last- ditch rally by the Blues who, in perfect conditions, had their fair quota of chances to rescue the game.
