Barry has the answer for Clon

BARRY O’MAHONY is currently in the throes of his Leaving Cert, but he took time off from study yesterday to help Clonakilty through the back door and get their Cork SFC challenge back on track in an entertaining game at Ballinspittle.

The Clon teenager scored three valuable points — one from a free — and while all were important on a day when scores were at a premium, his pinpoint effort under pressure was crucial.

Valley Rovers, who trailed 0-6 to 0-4 at half time, had drawn level for the only time in the game six minutes into the second half but O’Mahony’s point not onlyrestored the lead but gave Clon aa boost just as Rovers looked like taking control.
