O’Dwyer points way for ’Collig

AN EXHIBITION of point scoring by John O’Dwyer powered Ballincollig to a thrilling victory over Tracton in a marvellous Evening Echo Cork Premier IHC quarter-final tie at Pairc Uí Rinn yesterday.

The All-Ireland minor hurling winner of 1995 finished the game with nine points, six from frees, and was ably assisted by Rory Doherty and Robert Ryan, who shared six points between them, all from play.

Ballincollig may have had an excellent freetaker in O’Dwyer but Tracton also had a superb marksman in Ronan Walsh who matched the Ballincollig man point for point, scoring one more from frees.
