Newtown steamroll over newcomers Ballinhassig

A CHASTENING lesson for newcomers Ballinhassig as a well-oiled Newtownshandrum machine rolled them over in this Evening Echo Cork County SHC third round game at Páirc Uí Chaoímh on Saturday.

Newtown steamroll over newcomers Ballinhassig

Mon, 03 Jul, 2006 - 01:00

Newtownshandrum 3-19 Ballinhassig 1-8 Michael Ellard

Ballinhassig, shock but deserved winners over Na Piarsaigh last time out, started promisingly enough, but once Newtown moved into top gear the game as a meaningful contest died.

With Fintan O’Leary sparkling up front and Brendan Lombard impressive at centre-back, Ballinhassig were just a point behind when left half-forward Cathal Naughton soloed through and gave goalkeeper Martin Coleman no chance with a cracking drive in the eighth minute.
