Barr’s battle back to stay on track for promotion

ST FINBARR’S are still on course to regain senior status following a four-point victory over Ballinora in the Evening Echo Premier IFC quarter-final at Pairc Uí Rinn last night.

It was a result that didn’t look remotely likely after 25 minutes of a dull opening half when the Mid Cork side held an 0-8 to 0-3 lead but two late points coming up to half time were crucial and gave the Togher side the momentum to go on and win the game.

When they look back on this game Ballinora will be hugely disappointed at their failure to kill off the Barr’s when they were totally on top. Playing with the wind they wasted a gilt-edged chance of a goal just 20 seconds into the game when Conor Brosnan broke clean through.
