Clinical Kildorrery advance

Kildorrery got their Evening Echo Cork IFC ambitions back on track with a convincing second round replay win at Mourneabbey yesterday.

The loss of Niall Buckley proved a massive blow to Aghabullogue who were out-performed in the middle third. There, Andrew O’Brien and Mick Monaghan ruled supreme and, along with Michael Walsh at half back, all three were on hand to supply ball towards a free-scoring forward line.

Kildorrery looked like settling this contest inside 10 minutes, scoring five points. Playing with the breeze, John Howard, Tom Monaghan (2), a stunning 50-metre effort from Peter O’Brien and Shane Fitzgerald put the North Cork men into a commanding lead.
