Kilworth squeeze past Dungourney

MISSION accomplished. Kilworth are the new Evening Echo Cork junior hurling champions, but not without a mighty battle from never-say-die Dungourney.

Under lights at Páirc Uí Rinn on Saturday, the Avondhu men edged home 0-13 to 0-12 after a wonderfully entertaining hour’s hurling.

In the end it came down to Adrian Mannix’s injury-time point. And it was fitting that the man of the match should deliver. He galvanised a tenacious Kilworth half-forward line when moved from the inside line when the battle was at its hottest.
