O’Mahony and Corry goals do trick for Ballymartle

A physically strong and accomplished Ballymartle side will be one of the leading fancies to win the Evening Echo Premier Cork County IHC after a decisive six points victory over Courcey Rovers in Kinsale on Saturday.

A scintillating two-goal blast from Michael O’Mahony and Brian Corry in the space of a minute, midway through the first half, powered Ballymartle to the front and although Courcey’s tried gamely, Ballymartle never looked like losing their stranglehold.

Ballymartle snatched the lead with three points without reply from Rory Dwyer, Barry Dwyer and Brian Corry in the opening five minutes before Courcey’s found their second wind.
