Trinity do the damage early
With Declan McClure and James McGahan in fine shooting form from play and frees, Peter Canavan’s side were seven points up after ten minutes. That advantage grew to 11 when powerful John Loughran found the net at the second attempt in the 18th minute.
Jack O’Mahony got his side’s opening score when pointing a free two minutes later and Ian Falvey cracked home a brilliant goal, but Clonakilty still trailed 1-12 to 1-2 at half time.
