No doubts for driven Douglas

When these teams met in the opening round of last year’s Cork SFC, they had to contend with dreadful conditions as Douglas emerged with a one-point win.

Last evening the weather wasn’t a whole lot better, but the scoreboard in Páirc Uí Rinn told a much different story as Douglas had no trouble booking their place in round four.

They had matters all their own way — the only concern will be the concession of two goals in the closing five minutes. These were Na Piarsaigh’s first scores from play, which will give an even greater indication of how dominant the victors were. To add to Na Piarsaigh’s woes they will have to face the losers of Nemo Rangers and Bishopstown in the next round.
