Battling Béal Átha an Ghaorthaidh pile on the pressure in second-half

Béal Átha an Ghaorthaidh 0-10 Carrigaline 0-8

First round games are all about securing a place in round four – this they achieved following an accomplished second-half performance as the teams were tied 0-5 each after an eagerly contested opening 30 minutes.

The commitment from both sides was impressive as despite the continuous downpour they did their utmost to serve up decent fare and referee Eamonn Sheehy also deserves praise for officiating sensibly in difficult conditions.
