O’Keeffe stars as Imokilly overpower CIT

COUNTY champions, Newtownshandrum had scouts at Páirc Uí Rinn last night casting an eye over the opposition for their upcoming Evening Echo SHC quarter-final clash.

While they enjoyed a healthy margin at the end of a disappointing game, Imokilly will hope to step up a notch when they face the champions. They will want to build on some good spells, particularly in the first half when they raced to a 1-11 to 0-2 lead.

CIT did not register their first score until the 24th minute when Kevin Canty sent over a nice point but almost immediately Pierce O’Neill from Aghada rounded the full-back and hammered the sliotar to the net for the game’s only goal that killed off hopes of an immediate resurgence from the college side.
