Hurley goal sets up Barryroe for victory

Barryroe (Cork) 2-14 Meelick (Clare) 0-5

A stunning goal from wing Ciaran Hurley after eight minutes set up the Cork champions for a comprehensive triumph, sealed with another picture goal from corner forward Denis Harrington five minutes from the end.

But for some outstanding saves by Meelick goalkeeper James Duffy, who denied both Harrington and Padraig Collins in quick succession immediately after the resumption, Barryroe’s victory would have assumed even more handsome proportions.
