Douglas turn on the power

DOUGLAS turned on the style at Páirc Uí Rinn on Saturday, a magical second-half display leaving fancied Ballymartle for dead, setting up a mouth-watering Cork Co Premier IHC semi-final date with Blarney.

No wonder Douglas boss Matthew Twomey was pleased afterwards. “Yeah, we really upped it in the second-half, it was probably our best performance of the season. But we will have to up it even more against Blarney. I’m expecting a very physical and tough game from them.

“The lads were brilliant tonight, their hearts really in it. A lot of them are involved with the football team, but there’s no problem whatsoever getting them out for hurling training. Take that heartbreaking draw with IIen Rovers last Saturday night. Those guys were really down, but still out training with us the following day. That’s commitment. Getting relegated last year really hurt, but we are determined to get back up and I’m really relieved we played so well tonight, particularly in the second-half.”
