Ballygarvan stand tall to survive late Catherine’s test

Ballygarvan were forced to defend deep into the last frantic moments of this game to record a merited victory over St Catherine’s at Watergrasshill last night.

Going into injury-time with a two-point lead in a low-scoring game they had to sweat before referee Joe Larkin called full time.

In a tough, physical and at times rousing encounter, Ballygarvan can thank their full back Ciarán O’ Sullivan who had an absolute stormer and he was ably assisted by centre back Ger Spillane and as the game aged, Cork panellist Stephen White was a strong performer too at half back.
