Rovers back in title hunt
The Rathcormac club have transformed a season that was in danger of slipping towards relegation a couple weeks back to emerge at the Cork SHC quarter-final stage for the sixth successive campaign.
It’s been a stunning turnaround considering they have only claimed two league victories from 12 games this year and suffered early championship defeats to Na Piarsaigh and Erin’s Own. In their third round tie with Bishopstown their prospects appeared grim as they trailed by four points with seven minutes remaining. But they recovered brilliantly to draw that game, won the replay and on Saturday, a 2-3 return from sharpshooter Daniel Dooley underpinned their success against Blackrock as they recovered from a five-point deficit in the first-half.
