Piarsaigh on fire as Glen shattered

NA PIARSAIGH claimed local bragging rights after crushing neighbours Glen Rovers in the opening round of the Evening Echo Cork senior hurling championship at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday night.

The winners produced an awesome display of hurling, and even allowing for the weakness of the opposition, there is isn’t a team in the county who would have lived with Na Piarsaigh at the weekend, particularly in the first half when they raced into an unassailable 3-12 to 1-4 lead.

Using the vastness of the playing area, Piarsaigh ran the Glen ragged with pace and precision and there was never a hint of an upset after James Egan raced through unchallenged before drilling the ball to the net after six minutes.
