Murphy points Vincent’s to victory in city derby

ST VINCENT’S moved into the last four of the Cork Premier IFC with a hard-fought yet deserved win over northside rivals Mayfield at Páirc Uí Rinn on Saturday evening.

Man-of-the-match JP Murphy was central to that victory with seven points from full-forward while wing back Darren O’Regan and former Cork senior football goalkeeper Paddy O’Shea both gave fine displays.

Mayfield can have no complaints as they rarely threatened a goal – save for a good Nicky Kelly effort in the second period that brought the best out of O’Shea. But they were also wasteful in attack.
