Lehane the hero as Midleton survive

THREE points in the second period of extra time by Conor Lehane gave Midleton a thrilling victory over neighbours Carrigtwohill in a gripping Evening Echo SHC relegation semi-final replay at Castlemartyr last night.

Two weeks ago at the same venue these teams served up an enthralling contest and with replays seldom living up to expectations the packed venue were not expecting a repeat.

However they got it and a bit more as these great East Cork rivals served up another classic encounter which, on the run of play, neither of them deserved to lose.
