Flanagan proves the ace for Newmarket

NEWMARKET booked a place in round four of the Cork Premier IFC at the third attempt, seeing off a spirited challenge from Grenagh at Mourneabbey last night.

Newmarket put their two previous disappointments behind them (losses to Kiskeam and Bantry) as they eased into the latter stages, while putting out one of the competition’s early favourites.

Key to the victory was a steady first-half display while playing with the wind, followed by a tenacious performance after the break which saw them cruise home.
