Glen set up date with Newtown

GLEN ROVERS renew acquaintances with Newtownshandrum in the Evening Echo Cork SHC with confidence.

Last night at Páirc Uí Chaoimh they despatched Killeagh in a third round tie and offered enough evidence to suggest they will not fear meeting their first round conquerors in the last eight.

The toxins of that early defeat look to have been flushed out of Glen Rovers system. Last week’s victory over Blarney may have been shrouded in mediocrity but this win was far more impressive. They packed too much strength and power for a young Killeagh side that looked too short on their development to take the honours here.
