Argideen shock Kanturk

Argideen Rangers shocked a fancied Kanturk in a thrilling Cork IHC first round clash at Coachford on Saturday.

Kanturk, with county players, Lorcan McLoughlin, Anthony Nash and Aidan Walsh in their ranks, were blown away by Argideen’s intensity. Rangers started brilliantly and points by Mikey Walsh and Brian Hennessy settled them before McLoughlin opened the Kanturk account after eight minutes. But Argideen quickly went on the offensive. In the 15th minute Joe Murphy found Walsh who fired to the net.

A shell-shocked Kanturk managed two late points to trail by seven at the interval (1-7 to 0-3).
