Horgan scoring burst sets up Carbery clash

BARRY HORGAN provided the inspiration as Newcestown saw off the challenge of Bishopstown in a keenly contested county senior football championship fourth round tie in Ovens last night.

Operating at right corner-forward, Horgan contributed four of his side’s eight points, three of them in a row just after half time to put his side into a mouthwatering quarter-final clash with fellow west Cork side Carbery Rangers.

While Horgan did most of the scoring, Newcestown were grateful to the brilliance of Carthach Keane at midfield, and the surging runs of Hugh Curran at centre-forward.
