Muskerry edge 14-man Duhallow

MUSKERRY put themselves in pole position in the Divisional section of the Cork County senior hurling championship following their defeat of Duhallow at Cloughduv last night.

And while they just about shaded it, Duhallow will be wondering what might have been had attacker Noel O’Callaghan not been sent-off with the game just 20 minutes old.

O’Callaghan can consider himself unlucky to have departed the action for an off the ball altercation while his marker only received yellow. However, it didn’t deter Duhallow who showed a fighting spirit to the very end. But, with both the winners and runners-up emerging from this group (also including Avondhu and Imokilly) Duhallow still have a chance of going through to meet UCC or CIT in round two.
