Borrisoleigh turn on power to blow Swans out of water

FAVOURITES Borrisoleigh powered their way past Carrick Swans at Semple Stadium last evening, their five-point winning margin giving them their place in the Tipperary Senior Hurling quarter-final against Mullinahone.

Borrisoleigh were the better side in a poor first half. With Doc O’Connor accurate from frees and Brendan Maher showing well at midfield, they led 0-8 to 0-4 at the break. Danny O’Hanlon scored all the Swans’ points from frees.

Borris stayed in control in the second half and were seven points clear, 0-15 to 0-8, when Swans rallied briefly.
