Ballymartle back in business with clean sweep now the target

BALLYMARTLE may soon be celebrating a clean sweep of Cork hurling titles.

They are in the divisional U-21 decider, strong contenders for Co Premier IHC honours and in Belgooly on Saturday they won their first South East J‘A’HC since 1986 when beating Ballinhassig 2-13 to 0-9.

The winning margin suggests a comprehensive victory. However, despite always chasing the game, Ballinhassig were involved in a tit-for-tat affair until Ballymartle nailed 1-5 in the closing stages.
