Dan’s the man as Ilen call tune

NOT quite a west Cork derby to savour at Skibbereen on Saturday, Ilen Rovers never coming close to the quality they produced in the thrilling opening round loss to Carbery Rangers.

But, a steely, clued in second round performance nonetheless and coach Ned English was well pleased afterwards.

“It was tough going out there tonight, believe me. Dohenys are a gritty lot, they’re not top of the league for nothing,” said English.
