Walsh lifts Clon as Duhallow pip CIT

WELL beaten by Douglas in the opening round, Clonakilty got their Evening Echo Cork SFC campaign back on track with a 1-10 to 0-6 win over Bishopstown at Brinny yesterday, leaving the dual senior club now facing a battle against relegation.

Brendan Walsh came out of retirement to turn in a ‘man of the match’ performance for Clon, who made heavy work of a disappointing Bishopstown side.

At the end of the day it was their full-back line of Liam Lyons, Diarmuid O’Brien and Timmy O’Sullivan who saved them time and again when Jack O’Shea and the Honohan brothers, Robert and Paul, launched a succession of piercing runs.
