Hero Kelly points way for battling Ballincollig
Conquerors of defending champions Nemo Rangers and former winners Castlehaven in the previous rounds, Ballincollig swooped two minutes from the end of normal time to snatch a superb match winning point from impressive full forward John Kelly.
But spare a thought for the vanquished. Trailing by six points, following a devastating start by Ballincollig to the second half, Ilen Rovers, inspired by Kevin O’Sullivan, staged a remarkable comeback and came within a whisker of pulling the game out of the fire.
