Killavullen through as Glanmire pay penalty

INSPIRED by Brian Murphy, Killavullen dashed the hopes of favourites Glanmire in a disappointing Evening Echo Premier IFC semi-final at Pairc Na Bride, Rathcormac on Saturday.

Glanmire, with Michael Cussen in their ranks, were expected to advance but while the big Cork forward was majestic under the high ball, his shooting was atrocious and the losers failed to convert territorial advantage into scores.

It was one of those days when very little went right for Cussen, whose cause was not helped when he received a yellow card early on after a tangle with Killavullen midfielder Brian O’Driscoll.
