Battling Bride in raptures

FROM big hearts come some huge results and this Evening Echo Cork Co SHC semi-final upset at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday was a whopper.

Bride Rovers tore the form book to shreds with a lion-hearted second-half display that rocked the champions and propelled them into dreamland — a place in their first senior showpiece.

For Erin’s Own only despair, their three-in-row aspirations shattered, despite out-smarting and out-hurling the Rathcormac men in the opening half and perhaps paying the ultimate penalty for taking their foot off the gas when they were in control.
