Early goal blast decisive for Blackwater

BLACKWATER Community School from Lismore lifted the Corn Mhic Ruairi under-18 hurling championship title, following victory over Hamilton High School, Bandon at Fermoy yesterday.

A four-goal blast in the first half put Blackwater in pole position at the break and ultimately they won because of their ability to hit back whenever Hamilton threatened to come within range.

Hamilton did succeed in narrowing the deficit to three points on occasion but the overall scoring expertise of Blackwater told in the end.
