Late rally edges Douglas over line
The result ensures that last year’s semi-finalists will have no relegation worries to contend with as they advance to the fourth round. That was largely due to the strength of their hurling at the finish as they outscored Ballinhassig by 1-4 to 0-0 in the final six minutes of action.
The scale of the defeat was rough justice on a Ballinhassig side that looked on course for success entering the finale when they lead 0-14 to 1-9. However, they will now need to overcome the challenge of Cloyne in a game that will have a major bearing on whether they are plying their trade at senior level in 2012.
