Barry goal proves key
Dunmanway bossed the opening exchanges with Mark Quinn and Eric Crowley to the fore as they went three points clear (0-5 to 0-2). However Clonakilty refused to panic and the free taking of Jack O’Mahony coupled with points from Jonathan Leahy and Cian Crowley had them level on five points apiece at the break.
But then came the decisive score as Gearóid Barry slotted home the rebound after a Cian O’Donovan drive came crashing back off the crossbar five minutes into the second half.
