Cool hand Luke strikes and Midleton deliver

Midleton 1-11 Killeagh 0-12

Killeagh now face a backdoor game with Castlelyons to stay alive, but they can have few complaints about this result. Midleton, despite some poor shooting, were just that little tastier and but for Joe Deane, might well have been further behind at the finish.

Midleton manager Terence McCarthy was relieved afterwards: “Look, we knew this game was going to be tough, facing Deano alone a handful, especially in a derby. We had a few very young lads playing tonight and we were pleased with them. Sure, they were raw and some of our finishing was disappointing, but it’s all about getting the job done. I’m pleased.”
