Ace O’Sullivan calls tune for Ilen

JOY for Ilen Rovers, huge disappointment for Douglas — now in the relegation dogfight — after a free-flowing Evening Echo Cork Co SFC contest at Clonakilty on Saturday that was tight and competitive throughout.

Full marks to both sides for a splendid show, but, in the end, it was experienced Ilen who called the tune thanks mainly to a rewarding second quarter display.

Showing character and determination in abundance, Ilen matched Douglas’s closing quarter fire with steely determination and had a destroyer in the sure-footed Kevin O’Sullivan, who broke the city side’s hearts with some priceless points.
