Courceys power to victory

A FINE second-half display from Courcey Rovers saw them power past Inniscarra in the opening round of the Cork PIHC at Páirc Uí Rinn last night.

Trailing by two points at half-time after Aidan O’Mahony’s 29th-minute penalty gave Inniscarra the lead, Courceys looked set for a testing second half, but instead they steamrolled their opponents, limiting them to a point before O’Mahony’s second penalty in the last minute.

Courceys’ left flank provided most of the impetus, as left half-forward Dáire Lordan scored 11 points and was deadly from placed balls. Inside him, Seamus Hayes was extremely dangerous, scoring eight times, all from play, and unlucky not to score a goal.
