Blarney edge drab affair

THIS was a contest to forget at Donoughmore on Saturday, Blarney and Mallow failing to ignite.

But, in the end, it’s all about results and Blarney’s extra bit of flair throughout the park just about gave them the edge on a night both sets of forwards will want to forget.

Just two scores from play sums up Mallow’s frustration, Aaron Sheehan their main man with seven pointed frees. In contrast, all but one of Blarney’s scores came from play, but a total of 14 wides overall needs working on as they prepare to play Newcestown in the quarter-finals.
