O’Connor seals dramatic Duhallow win

A 25-METRE free from Donncha O’Connor sealed a dramatic victory for Duhallow over Carrigdhoun in the Evening Echo Cork County SFC quarter-final, at Ballyclough yesterday.

Despite being reduced to 14 men — after midfielder Eamon O’Mahony was red-carded for a striking offence — Duhallow appeared to be coasting. Carrigdhoun, however, staged a remarkable comeback from six points down, and came within a whisker of a draw.

Duhallow’s short game was tailored to perfection, while Carrigdhoun looked a pale shadow of themselves.
