Slick-moving Críost Rí have too much power for Glanmire
However, their win came at a price in the testing conditions that made good football a big ask. After a delay of 15 minutes — Críost Rí were bailed out by set of Lough Rovers jerseys — they were dealt a bad blow in the 21st when influential wing forward Greg Browne sustained a bad back injury for which Glanmire centre-back Cillian Brosnan received a yellow card.
Play was held up for 25 minutes while an ambulance arrived, but when play did resume it must have been hard on the players who were hanging around in the cold biting rain.
