Classy Cloyne signal title intent as Glen humbled

BEATEN in the last two finals, Cloyne produced the kind of performance against Glen Rovers in the third round of the Evening Echo SHC in Páirc Uí Chaoimh yesterday to suggest that the coveted title could finally be theirs this year.

It was an awesome display which left the Blackpool side floundering. Defensively Cloyne were majestic with Donal Óg Cusack, as he has been doing for years with both club and county, orchestrating matters from goal; full back Killian Cronin was never beaten by a succession of opponents, while Eoin O’Sullivan, Liam O’Driscoll and Donal O’Sullivan were equally efficient.

James Nyhan and John Cotter gave the east Cork side a grip on midfield while in attack, Paudie O’Sullivan was a revelation at right-corner forward and Conor Cusack finished as their top scorer with 2-2.
